This study aims to analyze the effect of toxic leadership on turnover intention with job satisfaction as a mediating variable on employees in the Quality Control department at PT XYZ. The phenomenon of high employee turnover rates in this company, which reaches an average of 10% per year, is the main background of the study.

The results of the study indicate that toxic leadership has a significant effect on turnover intention and job satisfaction. In addition, job satisfaction also has a significant effect on turnover intention.
