An Extension of the Theory of Job Embeddedness: An Investigation of Effects on Intent to Turnover of United States Air Force Members

Abstract

This study investigated the ability of Mitchell, Holtom, Lee, Sablynski, and Erze\u27s (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
