This study offers new perspectives on employees’ intention to stay in organizations by examining the role of calling and perceived supervisor support (PSS). Drawing from work as calling theory (WCT) and utilizing survey data collected in the Philippines (Study 1; n = 338), we found that perceiving a calling is positively and significantly related to intention to stay and that PSS serves as a moderating variable. To further assess the mechanism that links perceiving a calling with intention to stay, we conducted a second study, after 6 months, focusing on the employee’s state of living out the calling. Using another survey data set collected in the Philippines (Study 2; n = 379), we found that living a calling serves as a mediating variable that influences the relationship between perceiving a calling and intention to stay, which is further strengthened by PSS. Theoretical and practical implications are fully discussed.

员工留在组织中的意图：通过工作的理论视角考察呼叫和主管支持的作用

这项研究通过研究呼叫和上级主管支持（PSS）的作用，为员工留在组织中的意图提供了新的视角。借鉴呼叫理论（WCT）的工作，并利用菲律宾收集的调查数据（研究1； n = 338），我们发现感知呼叫与留守意愿成正相关且显着相关，而PSS则作为调节变量。为了进一步评估将呼叫感知与留意联系起来的机制，我们在6个月后进行了第二项研究，重点研究了员工维持呼叫的状态。使用在菲律宾收集的另一项调查数据集（研究2； n = 379），我们发现生活在通话中是中介变量，会影响通话的感知与居留意愿之间的关系，PSS进一步加强了该功能。理论和实践意义进行了充分讨论。
