Highlights • Based on an online survey of a random sample of the PRSA membership, this study is among the first to explore practitioners' own turnover intention. • Supportive organizational environment, trust, and work-life enrichment directly affected practitioners' decision to stay. • Other contributing factors than work environment, trust, and work-life enrichment should also be examined in future studies. • It is also critical to explore individual' nuanced experiences and develop communication strategies targeted toward different demographics. • Top management, internal communication managers, and industry leaders can play an instrumental role in using the results of the study. Abstract Based on an online survey of a national random sample of the PRSA membership (n = 650), this study is among the first to explore public relations employees' own turnover intention and propose three contributing factors for employers to keep top talent in PR industry: a family-supportive organizational environment; the positive, enriching impact of professional work upon practitioners' life; and PR practitioners' trust toward employers. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
