Abstract

This study investigates the mechanism through which financial compensation influences turnover intention within Indonesia's Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector, with a specific focus on the potential mediating roles of supervisor support, career adaptability, and flexible work arrangements. A quantitative methodology was employed, utilizing a structured questionnaire administered to a random sample of 271 staff-level employees from FMCG companies operating in the Greater Jakarta (Jabodetabek) region. The collected data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with partial least squares (PLS) to test the proposed hypotheses. The results demonstrate that financial compensation exerts a significant negative effect on turnover intention. Furthermore, the analysis confirms that both supervisor support and career adaptability act as significant mediating variables in this relationship. Conversely, flexible work arrangements were not found to be a statistically significant mediator. These findings underscore the multifaceted nature of retention strategies, revealing that while financial compensation is a critical direct factor, its efficacy is substantially enhanced by supportive leadership and opportunities for career development.
