opportunities

INTRODUCTION
Mitchel, Holtom &
Lee (2001)
• This study provided
job embeddedness
theory (Why
employees stay in
an organization?)
Crossley, Bennett,
Jex, & Burnfield
(2007)
• This study
considered the job
embeddedness
theory as an
employee
retention strategy
to reduce
employees
turnover
Nguyen, Taylor, &
Bergiel (2017)
• The study found
some
organziational
factors; HRM
practices,
supervisor and
organizational
support as
predictors of JE
Ng & Feldman
(2012),
Halbesleben &
Wheeler (2008)
• Found
performance
and work-family
conflict as
outcomes of JE
RESEARCH AIM
 To evaluate the extent of
transformational leadership in
creating job embeddedness with
the moderating effect of job
scope.
 To empirically test at what extent
JE can reduce WFC and can
enhance in-role performance
when the employees are provided
with career growth opportunities.
 To investigate the mediating
impact of JE between TFL and in-
role performance and WFC
PROBLEM STATEMENTS
• To identify the strategy that might help the firms in retaining
their skilled and talented employees to overcome the problem
of rising firm’s costs (concrete and abstract costs) associated
with the leaving of employees.
• To suggest in regard the issue of low firms’ productivity in
Pakistan as reported by labor market profile 2018.
• To discourse the issue of work family conflict that occurs due to
excess work demands from the organizations to meet their
targets.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
 Does transformational leadership assist in creating job embeddedness in employees?
 Do job characteristics take part in moderating the relationship between transformational
leadership and job embeddedness?
 Does transformational leadership help in enhancing the in-role performance of the
employees directly and through the mediation of JE?
 Does transformational leadership prove effective in minimizing WFC in employees
directly and through the mediating influence of JE?
 Does job embeddedness participate in enhancing employees performance?
 Do career growth opportunities moderate between the relationship of JE and in-role
performance?
 Does job embeddedness take a part in reducing work family conflict?
 Do career growth opportunities act as a moderator between JE and WFC?
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
 The past studies more focused on work
attitudes as predictors of job embeddedness
that motivates the employees to stay with
their jobs and organizations.
 The current study for the first time considers
the transformational leadership in predicting
job embeddedness as well as its impact on
enhancing the in-role performance of the
employees directly and also considers its
mediating effect in measuring performance
of workers in the Pakistani organizations.
 The prior researches identified work family
conflict as a negative factor in determining
employees performance.
 The present study for the first time considers
the model of reducing such conflicts of
employees towards their job.
LITERTATURE REVIEW
 Transformational leadership is defined as “leaders and followers make each other
advance to a higher level of motivation and morality” Burns (1978).
Later on, Bass in 1985 explained that transformational leadership
stimulates and renovates his followers through idealized influence, inspirational
motivation, intellectual stimulation and individual consideration.
 Job embeddedness is defined as “The combined forces that keep a person to stay
in his/her job” Mitchel, Holtom and Lee (2001).
 The job characteristics theory proposed a model of five “core” job characteristics
(i.e. skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, and feedback) that
affect five work-related outcomes (i.e. motivation, satisfaction, performance, and
absenteeism and turnover) through three psychological states (i.e. experienced
meaningfulness, experienced responsibility, and knowledge of results) Hackman
and Oldham (1974).
LITERATURE REVIEW
 According to Q. Wang, Weng, McElroy, Ashkanasy, and Lievens (2014), career
growth opportunities referred as “the degree to which employees experience
career growth within their current organization (rather than the assessment of
career outcomes across their total work career)”.
 Work family conflict is defined as “a form of inter-role conflict in which the role
pressures from the work and family domains are mutually incompatible in some
respect” Greenhaus and Beutell (1985).
 The in-role performance is mainly concerned with employees efforts which are
subjected to achieve the organizational goals while the extra-role performance of
the employees are subjective in nature in which the workers behave beyond the
required performance to improve the overall work environment and most
commonly termed as citizenship behavior (Williams & Anderson, 1991).
