The study emphasizes the need for intervention programs that focus on minimizing workplace harassment and fostering a healthy organizational climate to increase employee retention and promote positive health. The research provides insightful findings, yet it contains specific limitations in its analysis. The study examines only one firm within a specific industry sector which restricts how well its results transfer between different industrial settings. The study utilizes a cross-sectional design as its approach thus it prevents researchers from creating connections between variables across different time periods. Research needs to conduct long-term investigations through time-spanning studies to better grasp harassment effects on employees in their workplace environment. Enhancing the study by including workers from different industries along with diverse groups of employees would increase their overall reliability. A thorough investigation of workplace harassment requires exploring extra moderating factors and mediating variables that include organizational culture and leadership styles alongside employee coping methods to understand better these effects on outcomes.Item IMPACT OF SUPERVISOR ASSISTANCE, WORK LIFE BALANCE AND TRAINING ON EMPLOYEES' TURNOVER INTENTION: EVIDENCE FROM NON-EXECUTIVE EMPLOYEES OF ABC AUTOMOBILE COMPANY IN SRI LANKA(Department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2025) Dilruk, M.W.A.; Welmilla, I.The purpose of this research study is to determine the impact of supervisor assistance, work life balance, and training on employee turnover intention.
