Summary/Abstract: The objective of this study is to investigate the mediating influence of continuance commitment on the effect of psychological contract breach on turnover intention. These relationships were established in accordance with the tenets of social exchange theory and conservation of resources theory. The data for this study were collected from employees of a district municipality in the TR82 region using a cross-sectional research design. The data were analysed using statistical methods. The findings of the study indicate that psychological contract breach exerts an influence on turnover intention; however, continuance commitment does not mediate this effect. This study is anticipated to contribute to the existing literature within the framework of social exchange theory and resource conservation theory, and to raise awareness about psychological contract breach. It also aims to contribute to organizations to develop strategies to increase continuance commitment and retain talent.
