Abstract: In the former researches of voluntary turnover, most of them reached the agreement on the conclusion that organization embeddedness has a significant impact on turnover intention, but the relationship between community embeddedness and turnover intention is controversial. This illustrates that there probably exist some kind of moderator variable from individual, organization and community between community embeddedness and turnover intention. This study explores whether the controllable organizational factor the perceived organizational support can play a significant moderator role between community embeddedness and turnover intention. Moreover, it is noted that there is a kind of“stickiness”between organization embeddedness and community embeddedness, i.e., they can impact each other. It also explores the moderator function of community embeddedness between organization embeddedness and turnover intention. The results indicate that: (1) community embeddedness has a significant positive moderator effect between organization embeddedness and turnover intention; (2) the perceived organizational support has a significant negative moderator effect between community embeddedness and turnover intention.

Key words: job embeddedness; organization embeddedness; community embeddedness; perceived organizational support; turnover intention
