We found that interpersonal conflict with the supervisor has a positive influence on the turnover intentions of the young worker and an insignificant effect on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Similarly a significant positive impact of intra-personal conflict on turnover intentions were people usually perceive themselves in a personality which also defines how they are going to react towards conflict resolution. We also found that intra-personal conflict of an individual causes barrier against their ability to resolve conflict as their desires and intentions. We also conclude that there is a significant positive impact of intra-personal conflict on the job dissatisfaction. Job satisfaction plays a vital role among employee’s productivity and intention to stay in organization as job satisfaction has been defined as an internal happy feeling of an employee which caused by number of factors like good education, experience, work nature, job security, presence of work-life balance, chances of better career development opportunity.
