Abstract: Objective To explore the relationship between production pressure and turnover intention among employees in the electronics manufacturing service industry,analyze the chain mediating role of depression/anxiety and work-family conflict underlying this relationship. Methods From June to August 2024,a questionnaire survey was conducted among all employees of an electronics manufacturing enterprise in Weihai City using a general information questionnaire,production pressure scale,depression and anxiety scale,work-family conflict scale,and turnover intention scale,and the data were analyzed. Results The total average score of production pressure,work-family conflict and turnover intention among employees in the electronics manufacturing service industry was(3.241±0.499),(3.328±0.884) and(2.290±1.047)points,respectively. The employees with normal,mild,moderate,and severe depression/anxiety scores accounted for 58.39%,28.97%,9.20% and 3.45%,respectively. The employees' production pressure was significantly positively correlated with work-family conflict and turnover intention(all P<0.05),the production pressure was marginally positively correlated with depression/anxiety(P<0.1),the depression/anxiety was significantly positively correlated with work-family conflict and turnover intention(all P<0.05),and the work-family conflict was significantly positively correlated with turnover intention(P<0.05). The mediation model test demonstrated that independent mediating effect and the chain mediating effect of depression/anxiety and work-family conflict on the relationship between production pressure and turnover intention were significant,and the relative mediating effects accounted for 54.29%,35.71% and 10.00%,respectively. Conclusion The high production pressure faced by employees in the electronics manufacturing service industry in Weihai City can bring them depress/anxiety and work-family conflict,thus leading to turnover intention. The enterprise managers should arrange production plans reasonably,fully consider employees' occupational health and work family harmony issues,and effectively reduce employees' turnover intention.
