By addressing issues related to favoritism and work pressure, companies can enhance job satisfaction and lower turnover rates, thereby contributing to economic growth through increased workforce stability and efficiency in Indonesia’s outsourcing sector.Originality/Value: This study provides original value by integrating favoritism, work pressure, job satisfaction, and turnover intention into a single research model within the context of Indonesia’s outsourcing industry—an area that has received limited academic attention despite its high employee turnover rates.]]>
