Abstract
In an increasingly globalized economy, organizations are increasingly competing for the best
employees who are skilled in professional fields. Employer branding has an important role in
helping organizations find new employees and retain existing employees. The goal of this
study was to look at the effect of employer branding on organizational commitment and
turnover intention in the pharmaceutical industry, as it was moderated by generation. The
population sample is made up of Generation X, Y, and Z workers in the pharmaceutical
industries in Indonesia. The sampling technique uses a non-probability sampling method with
purposive sampling. PLS-SEM was utilized in this study to analyze data from 175 samples.
The research results have proven that employer branding increases organizational
commitment and decreases turnover intention. Organizational commitment reduces turnover
intention. Moreover, the relationship between employer branding and turnover intention
might be mediated by organizational commitment. The association between organizational
commitment and turnover intention or employer branding and turnover intention cannot be
moderated by generation because it has no impact on turnover intention in the pharmaceutical
industries. Corporate leaders need to establish and develop employer branding to increase
organizational commitment and reduce turnover intentions in the pharmaceutical industry.

INTRODUCTION
In an increasingly globalized economy,
organizations are increasingly competing
for the best employees who are skilled in
professional fields. With the advancement
of technology, competition for the best
employees will become increasingly diffi-
cult for employers in the future. Employer
branding has an important role to play in
helping organizations find new employees
and retain existing ones (Hadi & Ahmed,
2018). Organizational leaders have an
important role to play in ensuring that
employer branding applications are com-
municated consistently externally as well
as internally (Backhaus, 2016).
