A study on the impact of employee work engagement on turnover intention : the mediating role of LMX and the moderating role of leadership support
Abstract:
This study will use catering practitioners as the research participants, and its main
objective is to explore the influencing factors among catering practitioners' turnover
intention. Based on the social exchange theory, a theoretical model was constructed,
and a questionnaire was used to survey a sample of 544 practitioners in the catering
industry in Shanghai, China.
The research results show that work engagement negatively affects turnover
intention; work engagement positively affected leadership-deployment exchange
relationship; leadership-deployment exchange relationship negatively affected
turnover intention; leadership-deployment exchange relationship played a mediating
role between job engagement and turnover intention; leadership support played a
moderating role between job engagement and turnover intention.
Finally, according to the research conclusion, this following three suggestions are
proposed: 1) there should be the establishment of an incentive system to improve
employee work engagement; 2) there should be the cultivation of the communication
relationship between supervisors and employees; and 3) there should be the
determination of the role of leadership support in the organization.
