ABSTRACT

Turnover is an important career decision that influences both individual employees and their organizations. While human resource management scholars have long sought to understand critical components of a workplace where employees want to stay, ethics has become a primary factor of interest in public sector turnover intention studies only in recent years. This article contributes to this growing line of research by investigating if and how ethical work environment influences public employees’ turnover intentions, and how this relationship is moderated by an employee’s position of power measured by supervisory status. The findings suggest that ethical work environment is a critical determinant of public employees’ turnover intentions and that supervisory status can moderate this relationship.

摘要

离职率是一项重要的职业决策，会影响员工个人及其组织。虽然人力资源管理学者长期以来一直试图了解员工希望留下的工作场所的关键组成部分，但直到最近几年，道德才成为公共部门离职意向研究的主要关注因素。本文通过调查合乎道德的工作环境是否以及如何影响公共雇员的离职意向，以及这种关系如何通过以监管地位衡量的雇员权力地位来调节，从而为这一不断增长的研究线做出贡献。研究结果表明，道德的工作环境是公职人员离职意向的关键决定因素，而监管地位可以缓和这种关系。
