Result -First, external numerical flexibility positively influenced turnover intention while wage flexibility negatively influenced turnover intention. Second, uncertainty costs moderates the relationship between functional flexibility and turnover intention, setup costs moderates the relationship between functional flexibility, internal numerical flexibility and turnover intention.
Conclusions - The study result, the necessity of the labor flexibility management in the organizational aspect is presented with theoretical and practical implications.
