Abstract

Organisational support plays a critical role in the execution of work roles and job attitudes of employees. Resources and support should be aligned with the needs and expectations of employees. This study investigated the role of perceived organisational support (POS) on flourishing and turnover intention of selected organisations in Namibia. Organisational support is instrumental in fostering health and wellbeing of employees. Organisational support reduces employee's intention to leave but is at times misdirected or perceived as cumbersome. Applying quantitative research, a total of n=446 employees were sampled, making use of a questionnaire (survey) to collect data. A unique negative relationship was found between perceived organisational support and flourishing. Perceived organisational support reported a positive relationship with turnover intention. This study recommends open and healthy communication platforms between employees and management; enhance the match between support provided and the needs of employees; provide training related to interpersonal relations, and emotional intelligence. Team-building sessions and conflict resolution training may be offered. This study adds to the understanding of perceived organisational support, flourishing and turnover intention within the Namibian workplace.
