Workplace Exclusion, Peripherization and Its Influence on Employee Turnover: The Moderating Roles of Employee Job Performance

Abstract

Abstract:

Based on social identity theory and relational theory, this study aims to extend the research of turnover by illustrating the linkage between workplace exclusion and turnover intention. Through analyses of matched sample of 276 employees and their 90 supervisors, it finds that both workplace exclusion and peripherization have positive influence on employee turnover intention and that coworker exclusion other than supervisor exclusion has more influence on turnover intention, whereas workplace exclusion has positive influence on peripherization. Mediating analyses illustrate that job security mediates the relations between both workplace exclusion and peripherization on turnover intention. Finally, it analyzes the moderation roles of employee job performance. Results show that job performance moderates the relations between coworker exclusion, peripherization, job security and turnover intention, meaning that with higher job performance these relations tend to weaken.

Key words: workplace exclusion, workplace peripherization, turnover intention, job security, job performance
