The study provided details of the findings in every theme highlighted and described the relationships between the factors, using one single model. This study also conducted a comprehensive review of literature and presented quantitative findings on turnover intention from Jordan. Based on the findings, there is a positive and significant relationship between HRMs and work engagement, and turnover intention, with the moderating role of intrinsic motivation. The study has implications to theory in that it provided an expansive explanation of the outcomes of HRMs and work engagement in five-star hotels and their connection to the employees’ turnover intentions.
