Three scales were deployed, namely the person-job fit scale, job crafting scales, and turnover intention scales. The collected data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The result indicating that person-job fit and job crafting affect the employee’s turnover intention. In other words, contract employees with adequate job fit levels and good crafting exhibited low turnover intention. The turnover intention was affected by person-job fit and job crafting. When an employee has the qualifications corresponding to his job position and gets the opportunity to develop his potential the chances of turnover intention are small.
