Job embeddedness as a moderator of the effect of manager trust and distributive justice on turnover intentions

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating role of job embeddedness for distributive justice and manager trust on turnover intentions. Data were collected through surveys with hotel employees in Turkey. The findings suggest that although job embeddedness strengthens the negative effect of distributive justice upon turnover intention, the correlation with the effect of trust towards managers on turnover intention was meaningless. Furthermore, distributive justice and manager trust have a negative relationship with turnover intention. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of these results and offers suggestions for future research.
