Moderating Role

This study investigates staff turnover in a manufacturing industry in Malaysia. Manufacturing is semi-capital intensive industry. Manufacturing contributes to employment, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Gross Domestic Production (GDP). Skilled and semi-skilled workers. Manufacturing is one of key success factors to national economy, nevertheless, high staff turnover continues to be disastrous towards manufacturing industry performance. This study employs a second-order construct with moderating role of gender in evaluating staff turnover intentions among 392 manufacturing industry employees in Malaysia, providing a case study of a manufacturing company in the consumer sector. Six variables were studied: role overload, role ambiguity, role conflict, work family conflicts, gender and turnover intention. The analysis was undertaken via SEM-PLS 3.2.7. A total of four hypotheses were tested. Positive results were obtained with respect to role overloaded on turnover intention. Negative results were obtained for role ambiguity, role conflict and work–family conflict. The implication of this study reveals that organizations generally recognize the importance of staff retention for superior organizational performance.

The present study determines the moderating role of organizational levels in autonomy, feedback, role stressors (role conflict and role ambiguity), and job satisfaction among Indian software employees because very few Indian researchers explore this aspect. This study also determines the impact of autonomy, feedback, and the role of stressors on job satisfaction among low and middle levels of software employees. Multi-group moderation analysis found that high autonomy is experienced by low-level software employees, and high feedback is experienced by high-level software employees. In case of role stressors, role conflict was experienced more by middle level as compared to low-level, and role ambiguity was significantly more experienced by low-level as compared to middle-level software employees. Chi-square difference test found invariant moderation effects of organizational levels in autonomy, feedback, role conflict, role ambiguity, and job satisfaction model.

Family Enrichment

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to test a model in which family-supportive organizational environment is associated with lower levels of turnover intention through higher levels of work-family enrichment and job satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachBased on a sample of 300 employees, the bootstrap procedure for estimating indirect correlations in multiple mediator models was used to test the research hypotheses.FindingsThe results suggest that employees experiencing high levels of family-supportive organizational environment are likely to report lower intention to leave their profession by virtue of their higher levels of job satisfaction and work-life enrichment.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is limited to public organization and sample size. Further research is needed to make comparison between large/state-owned and small/private organizations.Practical implicationsIn the Iran context, work-family enrichment and job satisfaction are effective in reducing the employees' turnover intention. Organizations should show concerns for the employees' work-life enrichment and job satisfaction to reduce their turnover intention.Social implicationsTurnover is one of the problems of organizations in many countries throughout the world including Iran, which has negative consequences through increasing the cost of organizations. The results of this study suggest ways in which staff retention could be improved.Originality/valueThe present study contributes to supportive organizational environment literature by addressing the relationship between family-supportive organizational environment and employee-related outcomes. Given some commonalities between Iran and other developing countries, the findings might be of potential interest in comparative studies dealing with the employees' turnover issue.

Moderating Role

Based on a survey of 147 Chinese employees, we examined the relationship between perceived career plateau and turnover intention, and the moderating role of career anchor in challenge in this process. We hypothesized that perceived career plateau would be positively related to turnover intention, and that this relationship would be stronger in employees with a higher level of career anchor in challenge than in those with a lower level. The results showed that perceived career plateau had a strong positive relationship with turnover intention, especially in employees with a high level of career anchor in challenge. These findings have implications for research in career development and turnover intention, as well as in management practices.
