To Stay or to Quit: Moderating role of organisational role stress between organisational identification, employee engagement and turnover intention

This study investigates the association between organisational identification, employee engagement, turnover intention and the moderating role of Organisational Role Stress (ORS). Utilizing Conservation of Resources (COR) theory and a sample of 378 managers from the hospitality industry in India, we found that organisational identification was positively related to employee engagement and negatively related to turnover intention. The study also found that ORS moderated the relationships between organisational identification, employee engagement and turnover intention. Our findings therefore highlight the important role that organisational identification plays as a personal resource to help managers cope with stress. We highlight the need for future research and practical implications of our findings.
