The effect of Organizational justice on employee turnover with the mediating role of Job embeddedness

Human resource management

Employee turnover remains a serious issue among organisations irrespective of their size and nature. In this sense, there is a growing interest in identifying the antecedents of employee turnover to enhance high employee retention. In line with this trend, this study aims to test the mediating role of job embeddedness in the relationship between organisational justice and employee turnover. A cross-sectional empirical study was carried out on stock broking dealers in Chennai city. Hundred and fifty-five participants completed the self-administered questionnaire. Pearson correlation and regression analysis was used to test the hypothesis. The study results indicate that distributive, procedural, and interpersonal justice perceptions relate to employee turnover and job embeddedness mediates the relationship between organizational justice and employee turnover. Business leaders and human resource professionals could consider the research results to implement employee retention strategies to enhance high retention within their organisations.
