| Abstract | ||||
| This study explores the impact of the perception of organizational politics (POP) on employees' intention to leave (EIL) within hospitality and tourism enterprises, with a particular emphasis on psychological contract breache (PCB) as a mediating factor. To test the proposed model, data were collected from employees working in five-star hotels and Category-A travel agencies in Egypt. Data analysis was conducted using WarpPLS 7.0 statistical software and PLS-SEM. The results showed that perception of organizational politics increases both psychological contract breach and employees' intention to leave. Additionally, psychological contract breache was found to increase employees' intention to leave . The findings also provide evidence of mediation, showing that PCB mediates the relationship between POP and EIL. By applying the Conservation of Resources theory, this study offers a fresh perspective on how workplace political behaviors can deplete psychological resources and increase the likelihood of employees leaving, particularly within the unique context of Egypt's tourism industry. | ||||
