Intention to Leave a Job: The Role of Individual Factors, Job Tension, and Supervisory Support

摘要

This study examined the role of individual and organizational factors on intention to leave the job using a sample of 176 Maryland-chapter NASW social workers. Using hierarchical regression analysis, it was determined that lower income, higher job tension, and lower supervisory support are related to higher intention to leave. Gender moderates the relation between supervisory support and intention to leave: for women there is a smaller difference in intention to leave for low and high supervisory support, whereas for men low supervisory support leads to much higher intention to leave than high supervisory support. Implications for research and practice are provided.View full textDownload full textKeywordsgender, income, intention to leave, job tension, supervisory supportRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/03643107.2010.500948
