Introduction: The Indian hotel sector is a vital component of the country's burgeoning tourism industry, contributing significantly to its economic growth [37].

Employee turnover is costly, encompassing expenses related to recruitment, selection, training, and lost productivity [13, 14]. Moreover, high turnover can negatively impact organizational climate and employee morale, further exacerbating the issue [30, 42].
