Abstract

This study inspects the effect of managerial leadership, work-life balance (WLB) and employee happiness on the turnover intentions of academics in private universities. It further investigates the mediating role of employee happiness on the stated relationships. Data for the analysis is gathered from 400 academics working in private universities in Punjab through a self-administered survey. Utilising the Smart PLS 3.3.9 package, the data is statistically analysed. The analysis discovered that managerial leadership and WLB have a negative impact on the turnover intentions of academics. Moreover, the study exposed that managerial leadership and WLB have a positive impact on employee happiness. Similarly, employee happiness partially mediates the outlined relationships. Besides that, employee happiness has a adverse impact on turnover intentions. Consequently, this study suggests implementing several effective managerial leadership and WLB practices in private universities since it may not only improve happiness among academics but also reduce turnover intentions.
