Abstract :This research investigates the case of Syrian workers in Turkish work environment and was conducted in private and public workplaces. This research discussed the moderating role of job satisfaction between the Turkish work environment and the Syrian workers’ intention to leave. Data based on (104) respondents were analyzed to investigate the relationships between some research variables.

To test the hypotheses, regression analysis and moderator analysis were conducted. The main results of the research are: the relationship between work environment and intention to leave is significant and positive (β=.263; p<.01); and the relationship between work environment and job satisfaction is significant and positive (β=.856; p<.01); as such, the relationship between job satisfaction and intention to leave is significant and positive (β=.245; p<.05); and lastly, the effect of interaction between work environment and job satisfaction is significant in predicting intention to leave (R²-change=.1736; p<.05).Keywords : work environment, intention to leave, job satisfaction, Syrian refugees.
