Abstract: It is believed that providing training and development opportunities at the workplace could reduce employees' turnover intention. However, the association behind this relationship is still unclear. This study analyses performance management and compensation as mediating the association between training and development and employee turnover intention from a relational perspective. Data was obtained from 633 public and private employees in Malaysia using convenience sampling. The results support the predicted model of training and development having no direct effect on turnover intention. It is worth noting that the inclusion of performance management alone (as a mediator) leads to an increase in employee turnover intention. The combination of performance management and compensation as mediators also leads to an increase in employee turnover intention, but at a significantly lower effect. These findings provide insights into human resource management (HRM) and the use of relational human resources practices to influence employee turnover intention in the workplace.
