The Mediating Role of Employee Well-Being on Linkage Between Turnover Intention of Blue-Collar Employees and Psychological Capital: A Field Study in The Furniture Industry

Abstract

This study aims to determine the mediating role of employee well-being in the relationship between psychological capital and turnover intention. The hypotheses were tested by path analysis on the data from 163 blue collars. According to the study, there is a strong positive relationship between psychological capital and well-being. Psychological capital positively predicts subjective and psychological well-being but cannot directly predict workplace well-being. The turnover intention doesn’t have a significant relationship with psychological capital, well-being, and its sub-dimensions, and the dimensions of well-being don’t have a mediating effect. Turnover intention tends to decrease in married and highly educated employees.
