Fitness exercise has been catching on in Thailand and the fitness industry is growing. Fitness establishments have been frequented by an increasing number of health-conscious Thais in the past several years. This study proposes a turnover intention model incorporating leadership behavior, job satisfaction and organizational commitment and tests whether this model fits for cross-national fitness enterprises. The sample consisted of 356 managerial employees drawn from a listing of managers at fitness establishments from all over Thailand. Moderation analyses were conducted through a series of multiple regressions. The results showed that both job satisfaction and organizational commitment significantly affected turnover intention through leadership behavior. The cross-national fitness enterprises should institute programs to enhance job satisfaction and organizational commitment among managerial employees. Future research might explore employees at different hierarchical levels or in different organizational settings.
