Purpose

Workplace flourishing and withdrawal behavior are important concepts for human resource practitioners in today’s multicultural and multilingual work atmosphere. Despite the prevalence of linguistic ostracism, only a handful of studies have considered its impact on workplace flourishing and withdrawal behavior. This paper embarks on unveiling the nature of these associations.

Design/methodology/approach

A sample of n = 395 employee responses was obtained from Jordanian tourism and hospitality organizations. The data were analyzed with the variance-based structural equation modeling (VB-SEM) technique using ADANCO software.

Findings

VB-SEM results indicate that linguistic ostracism reduces workplace flourishing and indirectly increases withdrawal behavior through the mediating role of workplace flourishing. Decreased feelings of workplace flourishing resulted in increased withdrawal behavior.

Originality/value

This paper is among the first to empirically examine the association between linguistic ostracism, workplace flourishing and withdrawal behavior and the mediating role of workplace flourishing using ethnolinguistic identity and stressor–emotion theories as a theoretical framework. Implications for practice and theory are discussed alongside future research directions.

职场繁荣对语言排斥与退缩行为因果关系的中介作用

目的

在当今多元文化和多语言的工作氛围中，职场繁荣和退缩行为是人力资源从业者的重要概念。尽管语言排斥盛行，但只有少数研究考虑了它对工作场所繁荣和退缩行为的影响。本文着手揭示这些关联的性质。

设计/方法/方法

 从约旦旅游和酒店组织获得了n = 395 名员工回复的样本。使用 ADANCO 软件使用基于方差的结构方程建模 (VB-SEM) 技术分析数据。

发现

VB-SEM 结果表明，语言排斥减少了工作场所繁荣，并通过工作场所繁荣的中介作用间接增加了退缩行为。工作场所蓬勃发展的感觉减少导致退出行为增加。

原创性/价值

本文是最早使用民族语言学身份和压力源-情绪理论作为理论框架，实证研究语言排斥、工作场所繁荣和退缩行为以及工作场所繁荣之间的关联的论文之一。对实践和理论的影响与未来的研究方向一起讨论。
