The goal of the study is to investigate the effect of physical, cognitive, and emotional engagement on turnover intention among academic staff in public sector universities in Pakistan. The study highlights the buffering effect of organizational politics on employee engagement and turnover intention. The study employs a quantitative research design based around a partial least square analysis of datah gathered from academic staff in public universities in Sindh. The study shows there is a significant negative association between turnover intention, and employees' cognitive and emotional engagement. The findings of the study confirm the buffering effect of organizational politics on physical and emotional engagement and turnover intention. The direct effect of employees' physical engagement on turnover intention was not found to be significant. This study contributes to the conservation of resources theory; it also offers solutions to the problem of staff turnover based on building an organizational culture grounded in justice and teamwork.
