The healthy and stable growth of the tobacco industry is of great significance to the country's economic development. In particular, the overall quality and work stability of human resources are the key factors for the development of the tobacco industry.Chinese post-1990s are gradually entering the workplace and becoming the backbone of society. However, their high-frequency turnover had different degrees of impact on the stability of the organization and their own career. So, the purpose of this study was to investigate thoroughlythe mechanisms of POS on turnover intention(TI) of post-1990s ofChina tobacco industry based on the mediation of OI, and the regulative effect of employability perception(EP).After collecting the results of questionnaires covering perceived organizational support, turnover intention, organizational identity and employability perception from 352 post-1990s employees of China tobacco industry, our hypotheses were tested using the Hierarchical Regression Analysis (HRA). Results displayed that there was a significant negative correlation between POS and TI of post-1990s employees. Turnover intention of post-1990s employees was significant negative impacted by Organizational identity and employability perception. Internal employability perception(IEP) had a greater impact on TI than that of external employability perception(EEP). Organizational identity played a partly positive mediating effect between POS and TI of post-1990s employees. Employability perception played a negative moderating role between POS and TI of post-1990s employees. Furthermore, the moderating effect of internal employability was greater than that of external employability, and the post-1990s employees with higher employability were more sensitive to the effect onPOS on TI.Finally, this study provided suggestions for China tobacco industry that strengthening the post-1990s employees' recognition of the organization, improving their overall self-awareness, and improving the level of organizational management were helpful to the career of post-1990s and organizational development.
