| dc.description.abstract | In the workplace, several roles affect our work, including colleagues, clients, and most importantly, our direct supervisor. Supervisors influence our growth within the organization, the work environment, and the connection between us and the organization. Furthermore, supervisors impact our intention to stay.
The main purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between leader-member exchange (LMX) and intention to stay, with supervisor emotional blackmail, member resilience, and organizational job embeddedness (OJE) factors (links, fit, sacrifice) as mediators.
The primary study objective focused on workers in Taiwan who have direct supervisors. A total of 502 valid samples were collected and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) via Mplus. The study results indicate that: (1) LMX has a positive effect on intention to stay; (2) LMX has a negative effect on emotional blackmail; (3) LMX has a positive effect on resilience; (4) LMX has a positive effect on OJE (including links, fit, sacrifice); (5) Emotional blackmail has no effect on OJE, fit, and sacrifice; (6) Emotional blackmail has a positive effect on the links of OJE; (7) Resilience has a positive effect on OJE (including links, fit, sacrifice); (8) Emotional blackmail has no effect on intention to stay; (9) Resilience has a negative effect on intention to stay; (10) OJE and sacrifice of OJE have a positive effect on intention to stay; (11) Links of OJE has a negative effect on intention to stay; (12) Fit of OJE has no effect on intention to stay; (13) Resilience and OJE have an indirect effect on the relationship between LMX and intention to stay; (14) Emotional blackmail, resilience, links of OJE, and sacrifice of OJE have an indirect effect on the relationship between LMX and intention to stay.
There is limited research exploring the relationship among these constructs, and this study can provide suggestions for companies facing similar issues. | en_US |
