We drew on social exchange and situational strength theoretical perspectives to examine the mechanism through which the political climate influences employee turnover intention. Participants comprised 750 employees working in 56 work groups in Taiwan. The findings demonstrated that psychological contract breach partially mediated the relationship between political climate and employee turnover intention. In addition, group interaction moderated the indirect effect of political climate on employee turnover intention through psychological contract breach, such that the mediated effect of political climate was weaker in good group interaction than in poor group interaction.
