The paper uses questionnaire survey to analyze the responses of 300 pharmaceutical employees, taken from some selected pharmaceutical companies (Ranbaxy-now known as Sun Pharmaceuticals), Cipla and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratory) in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh. The study made use of both descriptive and inferential statistics such as frequencies, means, and standard deviation, including bivariate correlation to obtain results. Pharmaceutical employees are satisfied and committed to their jobs. The results also provide some supports for the relationships between job satisfaction, organisational commitment and turnover intentions where there is a positive relationship between job satisfaction and organisational commitment whereas there are negative relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intentions. Furthermore, there is a negative relationship between organisational commitment and turnover intentions.
