The Moderating Effect of Job Role and Mediating Effect of Burnout on the Influence of Perceived Job Risk on Hotel Workers’ Turnover Intention in Organizational Management in Thailand
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
Perceived job risk is a significant current issue and its consequences on hotel workers’ burnout and their intention to leave the jobs must be considered. Yet, there have been few studies intended to observe the influences of perceived risk in the context of management within the workplace. Thus, this research intends to fill this research gap in the academic knowledge and present useful discussions of the related implications based on the findings which will help hotel businesses and human resources develop more efficient risk management for hotel workers. To further understand employees’ turnover intention, especially that which arises from organizational management risk, this quantitative research aimed to examine the influence of perceived job risk on turnover intention, the moderating effect of job role, and the mediating effect of burnout. Multi-stage sampling was employed to collect data from 400 three- and four-star hotel workers using in-person questionnaires. Partial Least Squares Structural Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the statistical models. The influence of perceived job risk arising from organizational management on hotel workers’ burnout and turnover intention was statistically examined. The findings revealed that workers’ burnout played a partial mediating role within the constructs. In addition, an employee’s job role had a moderating effect on the relationships between perceived job risk and the turnover intention in the hotel industry context. In terms of implications, our findings would suggest that hotel businesses and human resource management should develop more efficient risk management to reduce the level of risk arising from organizational management to prevent hotel workers’ burnout and turnover intention.
