Abstract

The research on the relationship between organizational support for development(OSD) and turnover intention is mostly based on the theory of social exchange and career development theory. However, the study of the two mechanism has not yet reached a consensus and has limited explanatory intensity in changing and uncertain social environment. Managers are questioned about the effectiveness of the organization's developmental support projects. This paper explores the mechanism of OSD and turnover intention with job insecurity (job quality insecurity and job quantity insecurity included) as the intermediation from the perspective of stress intervention theory. Data were mainly collected from knowledge workers of enterprises in Nanjing and Suzhou, jiangsu province, with SPSS 20.0,Amos 17.0 on final 448 valid samples for data analysis. Results shows a obvious negative relationship between OSD and turnover intention of knowledge workers with the partial mediating role of job insecurity. The study provides an original empirical analysis in terms of the impact of OSD on job insecurity, thus shedding light on the mechanisms by which relationships between OSD and turnover intention are produced with a new theory perpective. This has allowed us to obtain more insightful results than those reported in the literature to date. Besides, the study eliminates the doubts about the effectiveness of OSD in the managerial practice. Then we puts forward some management suggestions.
