Abstract Understanding the behavioural factors that influence employees’ decisions to leave an organisation is an essential component of human resource management in service-based industries such as banking. Job stress has emerged as one of the most critical contributors to employees’ turnover intentions, particularly in urban banking environments where performance pressures, customer expectations, and regulatory demands remain consistently high. The present study examines whether job stress meaningfully predicts job-hopping intentions among bank employees working in Jaipur. A descriptive research design was adopted, and data were collected from bank employees using a structured questionnaire. Simple linear regression revealed a statistically significant relationship between job stress and job-hopping intentions, F(1, 208) = 91.71, p < .001, with job stress accounting for 30.6 per cent of the variance in job-hopping intention. The findings suggest that as stress levels rise, employees are more likely to consider changing organisations in search of relief or improved working conditions. The study highlights the importance of stress management programmes, supportive leadership practices, and balanced work expectations within banking institutions. The results offer insights for organisational policymakers seeking to minimise voluntary turnover and promote employee wellbeing.
