“…This describes how the organization strives to create a work environment that is empowering, caring, and responsive to employee needs and expectations (Al-Hakim et al, 2022;Dogantekin et al, 2022;Jeong & Kim, 2022). Organizational support is the practice of organizational policies to provide employees with support and career development opportunities, including long-term career planning and employment arrangements after repatriation (Chang et al, 2023).

This research aims to identify and analyze the impact of emotional intelligence on turnover retention at a bank in East Java, Indonesia by considering the mediating role of organizational support, as well as the moderating effect of career adaptability. Data was collected through a questionnaire distributed to frontline employees at one of the banks in East Java. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistical analysis for convenience of data characteristics and inferential data analysis using Structural Equation Model Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) to test contextual relationships between variables. Data collection methods include questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to obtain primary data, while secondary data is obtained from documents, the internet, and literature. The research results show that emotional intelligence does not directly influence turnover intention but has an influence through the mediator Organizational support and is moderated by career adaptation. In conclusion, work environment factors unique to banking significantly impact an employee's decision to stay or leave a job. Organizational support is proven to be an essential mediator, while the level of career adaptability also plays a vital role in employee turnover intensity. Moreover, if an employee has high emotional intelligence and career adaptability is low, they will still have the intensity to leave their job.

“…Expatriates sometimes prematurely terminate their assignments; one of the main reasons for this is poor cross-cultural adjustment (Banai, 2022;Chang, Chen, & Chau, 2023;Takeuchi, Yun, & Tesluk, 2002).

Background - Applying social learning theory, we propose a relationship of cultural intelligence with the moderation effect of political skills to predict expatriate adjustment. Design/methodology/approach - Three ninety-one participants voluntarily participated in the survey for the data collection from four sectors (banking, telecom, software, and public). Findings - The findings reveal that a direct positive influence of cultural intelligence on expatriate adjustment and political skills positively moderates this relationship.Practical Implications- This study provides guidance to policymakers and practitioners that by using the tools of cultural intelligence and political skills, they can overcome the hurdles faced by the expatriates for adjustment in multi-national firms and culture.Originality/value - This study emphasized the primary domain of political skills, which enables the expatriates to adjust themselves with higher cultural intelligence in the environment of multinational firms.
