As a result of its pace of development, Thailand is now facing a shortage of low-skilled labour, especially in labour-intensive industries. An influx of workers from neighbouring countries, especially Myanmar, is now substituting for low-skilled nationals. The challenge of how organizations can retain and motivate low-skilled workers remains a major issue. The scarce literature and little focus on how low-skilled workers can be managed have given rise to this paper. In this paper, we aim to examine the effect of need satisfaction, job satisfaction and life satisfaction on organizational commitment and turnover intention. To gain an understanding of the variables affecting the organizational commitment and turnover intention of low-skilled workers, which largely remain unexplained, we draw on 400 samples from 13 randomly selected Thai seafood processing factories in Samut Sakhon Province. The data were analysed using structural equation modelling with exploratory factor analysis to confirm the path diagram.
