The organisations are increasingly conscious that the companies’ competitive advantage rests upon the retention of their key employees. This study explores these relationships in SMEs with a sample of 290 employees from 134 companies of an industrial sector in Spain, using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM-PLS). The results reveal that the presence of a WLBSC is the principal determinant of job satisfaction, organisational commitment and reduced work–family conflict. In addition, there is strong evidence that job satisfaction and organisational commitment are strong determinants of turnover intentions.
