Abstract

ABSTRACT Despite the efforts to increase female representation in male-dominated occupations, many organizations are still challenged by a female talent shortage and high turnover in such jobs. We look at perceived supervisor support (PSS) as one factor that may reduce turnover intentions of female employees in male-dominated occupations via enhanced perceptions of psychological safety. Further, we integrate social exchange and social identity theories, with research on cross-cultural management, to develop and test a moderated mediation model in which the relationship between PSS and employee turnover intentions via psychological safety is conditional on employee gender and national levels of gender equality, utilizing a sample of 5,578 R&D employees across 24 countries. Our findings have theoretical and practical implications for retaining female employees in male-dominated occupations across the globe.

跨文化留住男性主导职业中的女性：主管支持和心理安全的作用

尽管在男性主导的职业中努力增加女性代表，但许多组织仍然面临女性人才短缺和此类工作的高流动率的挑战。我们认为，在男性主导的职业中，感知上司支持(PSS)可能会通过增强心理安全感来降低女性员工的离职意向。此外，我们将社会交换和社会认同理论与跨文化管理研究相结合，开发并检验了一个有调节的中介模型，其中PSS与员工心理安全之间的关系取决于员工性别和国家性别平等水平，该模型以24个国家的5578名研发员工为样本。我们的研究结果对在全球男性主导的职业中留住女性员工具有理论和实践意义。

期刊介绍： Human Performance publishes research investigating the nature and role of performance in the workplace and in organizational settings and offers a rich variety of information going beyond the study of traditional job behavior. Dedicated to presenting original research, theory, and measurement methods, the journal investigates individual, team, and firm level performance factors that influence work and organizational effectiveness. Human Performance is a respected forum for behavioral scientists interested in variables that motivate and promote high-level human performance, particularly in organizational and occupational settings. The journal seeks to identify and stimulate relevant research, communication, and theory concerning human capabilities and effectiveness. It serves as a valuable intellectual link between such disciplines as industrial-organizational psychology, individual differences, work physiology, organizational behavior, human resource management, and human factors.
