Abstract Based on transactional theory and job-demands resources model, we argue that job demands influence turnover intention. In addition, we further propose that impulsivity facilitate the relationship between job demands and turnover intention. Finally, it is hypothesized that the moderating effects of impulsivity are mediated by manufacturing worker’s social support. Data from 932 employees were collected across 3 time periods. Results of hierarchical regression analysis revealed that: (1) manufacturing worker’s job demands had a significantly positive influence on turnover intention; (2) impulsivity facilitated the positive relationship between job demands and turnover intention, such that the positive relationship was stronger when manufacturing worker’s impulsivity was high; (3) the moderating effects of impulsivity were mediated by social support, social support that influenced by impulsivity buffered the positive relationship between manufacturing worker’s job demands and their turnover intention. The theoretical and managerial implications of our findings, limitations, as well as future research directions were discussed finally.
