An Extension of the Theory of Job Embeddedness

<p>This study investigated the ability of Mitchell Holtom Lee Sablynski and Erze's (2001) job embeddedness construct to predict intent to turnover after considering the historical predictors of job satisfaction organizational commitment job search and job alternatives. This study extended the research on job embeddedness by investigating the extent to which age race gender and marital status would affect the relationship between job embeddedness and intent to turnover. Results indicated that job embeddedness was a significant predictor of intent to turnover. However age race gender and marital status were not found to be significant moderators of job embeddedness and intent to turnover.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
