Çalışanların işten ayrılma niyeti üzerine birçok faktör etki etmekte ve iş yaşam kalitesi de bu faktörlerden birini oluşturmaktadır. Bu araştırmada, iş yaşam kalitesinin çalışanların işten ayrılma niyetine etkisi spor ve fiziksel etkinlik sektöründe incelenmiştir. Chen ve Farh (2000) tarafından geliştirilen iş yaşam kalitesi ölçeği ile Landau ve Hammer (1986) tarafından geliştirilen işten ayrılma niyeti ölçeğinin kullanıldığı bu araştırmada veriler ticari olarak faaliyet gösteren yüzme ve fitness işletmelerinde çalışan antrenörlerden (N=105) elde edilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları, iş yaşam kalitesinin işten ayrılma niyetini anlamlı ve negatif olarak etkilediğini göstermiştir. Bu sonuca göre, başarılı çalışanlarla istikrarlı bir hizmet sunmak isteyen spor ve fiziksel etkinlik işletmelerinin iş yaşam kalitesini artırarak çalışanlarının işten ayrılma niyetlerini azaltması akılcı bir yol olarak görülmektedir
