 Methodology: author used positivist philosophy survey design collected data from 100 through a well-structured questionnaire comprising scales for BNS, WE, TI. questionnaires were delivered based on stratified random sampling after receiving listing 300 eligible participants. Data analysed using SPSS. Cronbach’s alpha 0.793, 0.872, 0.702 respectively Qualitative conducted get views regarding what should be done retain employees.
 Results: three variables in study strongly correlated significant p < .01. correlation between BNS WE .544, TI it -.519, TI, -.459. With controlled, impact insignificant Regression coefficient decreased -.710 -.388, indicating reduction influence when controlled. According Baron Kenny (1986), regression result confirmed that mediator However, partial, not full mediation achieved since direct path non-zero. Using as independent dependent variable, Pearson (R) .560, giving determination (R²) 0.314, contributed 31.4% towards variance TI.
 Unique contribution theory, practice policy: has provided empirical evidence can studied works generative mechanism (mediating variable) which operates Management mine must promote improvement compensation, supervisor-subordinate relationship, training development opportunities, recognition competent reduce
