Antecedents and Consequences of Job Embeddedness in the Egyptian Hospitality Context

Abstract

Although there are a growing body of studies on the influence of job embeddedness on turnover intention, few researches have been conducted on the drivers and outcomes of job embeddedness. Thus, this paper seeks to examine the drivers and outcomes of job embeddedness in the Egyptian hotels context. Data were collected from employees in the Egyptian hotels. Structural equation modelling was used to analyse the data. The results indicated that organisational support, employee advocacy, organisational rewards, and procedural justice are key drivers of job embeddedness. Furthermore, job embeddedness is related to organisational commitment and turnover intention. This study provides implications for the hospitality industry.
