【摘要】 工作嵌入作为源于映像理论和离职"展开"模型的一个新构念,为员工留职提供了更广阔的解释空间,并展示了预测离职的一个新视角。本文通过文献梳理,从三个方面对国内外工作嵌入研究的最新进展进行了综述:工作嵌入的涵义与测量,工作嵌入的认知基础及其与"展开"模型的关系,工作嵌入的效应、影响因素及其拓展研究进展。最后,在分析工作嵌入研究现有问题的基础上,提出了未来研究方向和建议。更多还原

【Abstract】 Earlier research on employee withdrawal behavior has its focus on voluntary turnover.The traditional models of voluntary turnover state that job attitudes and ease of movement are the major predictors of voluntary turnover.These models suggest that job attitudes together with job alternatives predict intent to leave,which directly precedes turnover.Despite some studies documenting the validity of these theoretical linkages,the empirical evidence shows limited predictive power.The turnover decision is not only about the individual’s attitudes towards work or about the actual opportunities in the labor market,but these decisions are the result of an analysis of complex web of factors that are labeled Job Embeddedness(JE).We describe JE,a construct related to employee retention,and indicates research directions.JE represents a broad constellation of influences on employee retention.JE applies constructs and concepts from image theory,social psychology and the model of voluntary turnover.In this paper,we analyze the status and trends of JE,and explore theoretic issues.Firstly,we review the theoretical underpinning of JE,including the development of a program of research,the definition and dimensions of JE.We describe it’s distinctiveness from other traditional attitude constructs,by comparing with similar constructs and supportive evidence.We also direct attention to methodological concerns,including establishing construct validity,refining the measure and the two kinds of scales(composite measure and global measure) are employed to assess JE.Secondly,we describe its relationship with image theory and the unfolding model of turnover it originated from.More specifically,we aim to call for integration of the critical elements of the unfolding model with JE to expand understanding of the voluntary turnover process.Thirdly,it presents the effects,the determinants and its extending researches.Finally,the implications of these findings for future research on this topic are discussed.更多还原
