This study investigated the effect of perceived foreign coworker discrimination on turnover intentions and the moderating role of international working experience in the current company’s host country as well as marital status. The convenience sampling and snowball sampling methods were used to collect the data from Thai employees who are working with international air transport companies and have foreign coworkers. Questionnaires were distributed onsite at their offices in Thailand and online via email and social media.  Finally, 376 questionnaires were included in the data analysis by Partial least square structural equation modeling. To confirm the internal consistency, the convergent and discriminant factor analyses were used to assess the validity while Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and composite reliability coefficient were used to test the reliability. The results supported the positive association between the perceived foreign coworker discrimination and turnover intentions. In addition, the association was found to be stronger for the employees who are single or have longer international working experience in the current company’s host country. The practical contributions on how to minimize the perceived foreign coworker discrimination have been discussed.
