Existing study was conducted to make a combined examination of the mediating role of (a) Job involvement in linking expanded job scope model (EJSM) with turnover intentions and (b) investigate how the relationship among EJSM and turnover intention is conditional based on the level of Core Self-Evaluation (CSE) in employees.700 questionnaires were circulated among the employees of education and financial sector which yields 490 returns achieving a response rate of 70%. After initial data screening 420 complete responses were available for analyses. The results exhibit that Job involvement (JI) mediates the relationships between EJCM and turnover intentions. The results of the moderated mediation depict that JI mediates the relationships between job scope and high level of CSE in employees. The outcomes delivered valuable understandings for managers and consultants, especially to Human Resource professionals who are trying to facilitate the workforce in challenging working environment through improved job design. The businesses may encourage high level of employee involvement through redesigned job scope in presence of high order personality characteristics which helps to reduce turnover intentions. This paper contributed in the literature of job design in three different ways. First, existing research makes theoretical contribution by adding new dimension in existing JSM which is flexible work time. Second, it describes how dynamic work settings may refine employees’ abilities and behaviors. Third, the research deals with a unique view in research of job design by combining personality as a moderator (i.e., CSE).

Using data from 52 employees, this study investigated the relations among user involvement, core self-evaluations, computer self-efficacy, employee stress, job satisfaction, and intention to leave the organization during the implementation of a new barcode scanning system. The results revealed that core self-evaluations and user involvement were positively related to computer self-efficacy. In addition, core self-evaluations was negatively related to job stress, but user involvement was not. The results further showed that job stress was negatively related to job satisfaction. Finally, job stress and job satisfaction were each negatively related to intentions to leave the organization. Implications for theory and managers are discussed.

As the new generation, Gen Z, graduates and moves into the workforce - employers must adapt their recruitment practices to acquire top talent. To adapt, employers must understand their target audience’s job-seeker and organizational characteristics and address these attributes in recruitment marketing job descriptions to elicit person-organization fit, ultimately, garnering top talent to apply to their organization. Using Deloitte’s Gen Z studies as a basis for personenvironment fit, this MRP seeks to be an extension of their studies to see if employers are, in fact, utilizing the specific content in their job descriptions with the primary research question: Do employers’ online recruitment marketing communications rhetorically address personorganization (P-O) fit characteristics to attract the new generation Z, workforce?

Attrition is the major problem in the Indian Retail Industry which experienced the attrition rate of 19.4% in FY 2016 according to KPMG Annual Compensation Trends Survey 2017-18. The focus of these organizations is to reduce turnover by focusing on the underlying factors leading to turnover intentions and actual turnover. The present study was conducted to explore the effect of job satisfaction and core self-evaluation on turnover intentions. The purpose of the study was also to see if core self-evaluation (CSE) moderates the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intentions. The study was conducted using structured questionnaires for measuring the above-mentioned variables. The sample of the study was 347 salespersons from various retail organizations working in Delhi and NCR. Hierarchical multiple regression showed that both job satisfaction and CSE were negatively related to turnover intentions. Also, CSE was found to moderate the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intentions such that the relationship was stronger for the employees with low core self-evaluation. The present study has important implications for policy makers in the retail sector. Managers should use strategies to increase job satisfaction in order to curb high attrition in this sector. They must be aware of the moderating role played by personality attributes in the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intentions.
