Summary/Abstract: Perceived overqualification is that the characteristics of employees such as education, knowledge, skills, and abilities are more than the requirements of job description. Employees' feeling in this way may negatively affect job satisfaction and intention to quit. But, these negative work outcomes could be lessened through various conditions. The aim of this study is to examine the moderating role of organization-based self-esteem on the effect of perceived overqualification on job satisfaction and intention to quit. The data of the study were gathered by the survey technique from 316 employees working full time in the banking sector by using convenience sampling method. Research results carried out that perceived overqualification was related to lower satisfaction and to higher intention to quit. Organization-based self-esteem had a moderating role on the effect of perceived overqualification on job satisfaction and intention to quit.
