This research examines good work as a strategic asset for reducing employee turnover intent in Saudi Arabia, with work-life balance as a mediator. Using the Conservation of Resources (COR) Theory, the study positions decent work as a multidimensional resource bundle that employees draw upon to preserve psychological and contextual resources. Data were collected from 210 full-time employees across key Saudi sectors (education, healthcare, and industry), reflecting the sectoral dynamics emphasized by Vision 2030. PLS-SEM was employed to test both a first-order and complementary second-order specification of decent work, thereby providing a more rigorous and theoretically coherent examination of its structure than prior studies. The findings demonstrate that decent work significantly reduces turnover intention both directly and indirectly through enhanced work–life balance, confirming the resource gain processes described in COR Theory. The study contributes novel empirical evidence from a transforming Middle Eastern labor market, clarifies the mechanism through which decent work promotes personal resource stability, and offers a sectoral interpretation of employee retention drivers in Saudi Arabia. Practically, the results underscore the importance of sustaining comprehensive decent-work practices, especially fair workloads, safety, and work–life policies, to retain skilled employees and support the human capital objectives of Vision 2030.
