Do Personality Variables Predict Job Embeddedness and Proclivity to Be Absent from Work?

The current knowledge base lacks evidence about situational-and surface-level personality variables and their impacts on job embeddedness and proclivity to be absent from work.With this recognition,drawing from the hierarchical personality model and fit theory as well as job embeddedness theory,our paper explores the influences of job resourcefulness(JR)and customer orientation(CO)on job embeddedness and propensity to be absent from work.We tapped time-lagged data gathered from hotel customer-contact employees in the United Arab Emirates to assess the aforementioned linkages via structural equation modeling.CO is a complete mediator between JR and job embeddedness,while job embeddedness completely mediates the linkage between CO and absence intentions.Specifically,hotel employees who can work under a resource-depleted environment are high on CO and therefore display job embeddedness at elevated levels.In addition,customer-oriented hotel employees have higher job embeddedness and therefore exhibit lower absence intentions.

Nurses’job embeddedness and turnover intention:A systematic review and meta-analysis

Objective:This study aimed to review the relationship between job embeddedness and turnover intentions among nurses and explore the effects of the Job Embeddedness Scale,number of years in the career,education,and marital status on this relationship.Methods:The review was conducted by searching the China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database(CNKI),Weipu Database(CQVIP),China Biology Medicine(CBM),Wanfang Database,PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,CINAHL,and APA-PsycNet for articles on nurses’job embeddedness and turnover from intention up to March 2024.The research quality was evaluated using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality(AHRQ)assessment criteria.The review protocol has been registered on PROSPERO[CRD42023483947].Results:The results of this review included 47 studies consisting of 15,742 nurses from seven countries worldwide.A moderate negative correlation was found between job embeddedness and turnover intention(r=0.487).Furthermore,on-the-job embeddedness(r=0.527)was more negatively associated with turnover intention than off-the-job embeddedness(r=0.234).The highest negative correlation was found between sacrifice and turnover intention(r=0.460),while the lowest was for the link(r=0.185).Furthermore,the relationship between job embeddedness and its dimensions with turnover intention was affected by different job embeddedness scales,number of years in the career,education,and marital status(P<0.05).Conclusion:This systematic review and meta-analysis analyzed the relationships between nurses’job embeddedness,dimensions,and turnover intention.Meanwhile,subgroup analysis and meta-regression explored the factors influencing these relationships.It is an important reference for nurse managers to promote nurse retention.
