Abstract
This paper synthesizes the causal
mechanism and intends to examine
the relationship of leader-member
exchange and employee retention
through the mediating effect of worklife
balance. This framework is based
on the social exchange theory and
tokenism theory. The hypothesis was
tested statistically by analyzing the
responses from women employees
working in the Information Technology
and Business Process Management
(IT BPM) industry using SEM
AMOS. The result motivates human
resource managers to focus on enhancement
of healthy leader-member
exchange relationship that ensures
retention of women talent.
