摘要:Based on social psychological theories, this study aimed at identifying personal and environmental factors to motivate employees to leave their current organizaitons. First, we hypothesized that employees with ability to achieve superior work performance would be regarded to be high on “social value” in the labor market, and therefore more likely than the average employees to be motivated to leave their current organizations for better opportunities (Hypothesis 1). Second, we predicted that job satisfaction and inclusive climate (characterized by equity, interpersonal harmony, psychological safety, etc.) would respectively weaken the positive effect of job performance on mobility (Hypotheses 2 and 3). Third, we assumed that the predictorcriterion relationship would become weaker when such mobility costs as social reputation (Hypothesis 4-1) and knowledge, skills, abilities, and interpersonal relations (Hypothesis 4-2) were high. The results supported Hypotheses3 and 4-1. Theoretical contributions and and practical implications of the research are discussed.
