Resumo:The competitive context of globalization is arising some complex issues for companies. One of the main problems is high turnover rates, that are affecting negatively organizations’ results. The willingness to stay in a company can be affected by numerous variables and, understanding these variables can be crucial for the sustainability of any business. This research aims to address and measure willingness to stay within a company, understand if and how much it is influenced by organizational culture, specifically by commitment, happiness, justice and loyalty. That is accomplished through formulating and testing of seven research hypothesis. For that purpose we applied a questionnaire, preceded by a pre-test procedure, to a sample composed by any person, currently employed or not, having received a total of 284 valid answers. Our results reveal that Willingness to Stay is positively affected by Organizational Commitment, Organizational Happiness and, Organizational Loyalty. The results obtained also indicate that, although Organizational Justice doesn’t affect directly Willingness to Stay, it acts has a mediator in the other three variables. These results point towards an indirect relationship between Organizational Justice and Willingness to Stay established through Organizational Commitment, Organizational Happiness and, Organizational Loyalty.
