Job Embeddedness, work satisfaction and turnover intentions of construction IT workers

Abstract

The aim of this study is to measure job embeddedness(fit, links, and sacrifice) and work satisfaction(career satisfaction, job satisfaction) and figure out their relationships to turnover intention, targeting small and medium construction IT workers. In order to fulfill these objectives, a field survey was performed and 177 survey questionnaires were collected. Research results show that three hypotheses are supported: the more sacrifice, die higher career satisfaction, and the higher job satisfaction the employees have, the less turnover intention they have. However, the other two hypotheses are rejected: the higher fit and the higher links the employees have, the less turnover intention they have. The results of this research can be used to effectively decrease turnover intentions of employees working in small and medium construction IT industries. ?2013 International Information Institute.
