Abstract

This study investigates whether direct management is why some employees intend to leave the organization where they work. This is a qualitative study. Interviews were used as the data collection method. Three individuals were interviewed, chosen at random from among passengers leaving a railway terminal in Lisbon, Portugal. The results show that only one does not want to leave the organization where he works. The reasons given by the two participants for wanting to leave the organization are lack of communication, authoritarian management, lack of empathy, and lack of respect, among others.

Keywords: Management; Turnover intentions; Commitment; Qualitative study
