This is a quantitative study examining the importance of social relations for organizations. The aim of the study is to examine the social relationships between management and employees, but also between co-workers, to see which has the greatest impact in terms of staying in the organization. The two hypotheses of this study involve a negative relationship. The negative relationship implies a lower probability of seeking another job if the social relations are good. With that said, employees would rather stay in their workplaces when the social relations are good. The study carries out analyses using SPSS, using two existing data sets called Opinions on jobs and working life. The data sets from the years 2005 and 2015 have been used for comparison. The results are based on crosstabs and regression analyses. Finally, the results of the study are discussed to answer the research questions, but it also suggests further research on the field. The results that emerged support the two hypotheses of the study. That is, good social relations in a workplace make employees more likely stay in the organization. It was also found that people in 2005 were more likely to stay compared to 2015.
