Organization-based self-esteem as a moderator of the relationship between employee dissent and turnover intention

Abstract

This study investigates the association between employee dissent and turnover intention, and the moderating role of organization-based self-esteem on this relationship. A survey questionnaire was prepared and distributed by the researchers, with a sample of 211 white-collar employees in Turkey participating. The results point to employee constructive upward dissent, questioning upward dissent, and latent dissent explaining the variance in turnover intention. In addition, partial support was found for the moderating influence of organization-based self-esteem on the relationship between employee dissent and turnover intention. (C) 2014 The Authors.
