Comparative studies have shown results that indicates a positive, and direct relationship between the two major variables of this study. The results of this research are in consensus with previous measures conducted upon the matter. According to the findings of this study SRHRM practices can decrease the intention of employees for quitting their jobs. In addition, organizational commitment affects their perception towards the organization, which in turn will lead in a lower level of turnover intentions.
