dc.description.abstractMost of the previous researchers have identified the factors of organizational stress which apparently are common factors all around the world. Stressors such as factors intrinsic to the job, role in the organizations, relationship at work, career development, organizational structure and climate, and home and work interface (Cartwright & Cooper, 1997; Cooper & Marshall, (1978). The degree of stress experienced by people is different even though they are under the same work conditions. Some people work best under pressure while some found it difficult to cope. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of organizational stress on turnover intention and to find out whether personality type contributes to the situation. In particular, how different personality behave under the same stress level and their reaction towards turnover intention. The Big Five personality dimensions was used in this study to measure the personality among employees. Sample size was employees working in Electronic and Electrical industry in Penang. Results showed that organizational stress is positively related to turnover intention. Having high responsibility for other people, lack of job security, and high workload all contributed to organizational stress. Individual with high conscientiousness, openness to experience, and extraversion are less likely to suffer from organizational stress and turnover intention.en_US
