engagement and job satisfaction. While the work passion and work engagement are not direct and
significant impact on the turnover intention. Furthermore, job satisfaction brings a significantly negative
effect on turnover intention. This research failed to prove the existence of variable work engagement as
a mediating variable. On the other hand, job satisfaction successfully serves as a mediating variable. It
presents that work passion can determine turnover intention through increasing the job satisfaction.

INTRODUCTION
Millennial is the demographic cohort who born in between 1981 until 2000. Millenial
is commonly known as Generation Y, Generation Next, the Net Generation, Echo boomers,
iGeneration, Generation Me, the Next Great Generation, and MySpace Generation. Armour
mentioned that in the work area, millennial is the fastest-growing employee approximately 14
21 % during 2001 2005. Later on, Aschoff affirmed this generation is called as the largest
demographic bulge since the baby boomers (Delcampo, Haggerty, Haney, & Knippel, 2011).
Technological advances have driven millennial’s ability to multi-task, on line networks
in the millennial era make organizations require their employees to have technology-related
skills, such as computer skills. However, informed that the epidemic use of MySpace,
Facebook, YouTube, and reality TV has led to criticism of Millennial being “attention”.
Members of this generation are information gatherers because they are used to having the
world or at least the World Wide Web at their fingertips, no matter the time of the day.
That millennial is technology proficient; success oriented, feedback-driven, and wants a quick,
deliberate impact. In the engineering field, as prior-mentioned, the millennial put their
interest in technology information work. The 10 out of 32 most developed IT corporates is
dominantly filled by the employee no older than 34 years old i.e. Epic Game, Facebook, Zynga,
263
264 Jurnal Manajemen dan Pemasaran Jasa Vol. 11 No. 2 September 2018
Google, AOL, Blizzard Entertainment, InfoSys, Monster.com, Samsung and Microsoft
(Schawbel, 2013).
Raised in an environment that promoted self-esteem, millennial is not afraid to
challenge corporate norms. Millennial often question typical workplace expectation. This
group undeniably has different perspectives than generations past on work. Millennial are
realistic about the fact that they will have to work their way up the corporate ladder in order
to achieve their career aspirations. However, the pragmatic viewpoint millennial possesses
helps to explain their proactive approach to career development. As a result of watching older
generations experience layoffs and uncertain future in terms of job security, millennial place a
great deal of value on fully developing diverse skill sets that will ensure their marketability in
the long run. It has been observed that “rather than passively” relying on employers to take
responsibility for employee career development, younger generation employees are more
likely to take a more acitive role in their career planning and execution. If companies are
unable to provide opportunities for millennial to fully build their skill sets, high level of
dissatisfaction will result. As the result, the idea that lifelong career paths with one
corporation are possible may be skewed (Delcampo, Haggerty, Haney, & Knippel, 2011).
Referring to the characteristic, millennial totally different from its former generation.
Millennial’s work-related value covers passion, balance, leisure, and security. These values are
correlated with how this generation put their view on the concept of work. One of the
phenomena is that millennial tends to move from one job to another job or in another word
high-level turnover intention (Sourceright, 2016). The turnover intention may cause multi-
negative-effects which are disrupting work-harmony, adding more work cost to hire new staff,
and wasting time to develop the recruitee (Haq, Badar, & Abbas, 2017). Hence, corporate
should put their efforts to prevent facing this condition. The phenomenon of the high turn
over intention on the millennial generation can be caused by a lack of job satisfaction, work
engagement and the weakness of passion.
In the contrary, this circumstance does not happen in Belant Persada Ltd. This
corporate runs its business in the field of IT service and development. Millennial is dominantly
employed here which were 63 out of 87 employees in total or 74.71 % in 2013. Nonetheless,
during the last 3 years, the data of employee turnover shows 1 staff resigned in 2014. A year
later, 2 staff resigned and it was followed by another 2 staff resigned in 2016. Therefore, 5
millennial resigned during 2014 2016 or 7.7 % out of the total millennial who retain in the
company. According to the above-stated data, there is an inconsistency in the form of
phenomenon gaps between theory in the literature and case of study at the Belant Persada
Ltd. The turnover intention typical of the millenial workforce is not reflected at Belant Persada
Ltd.
LITERATURE REVIEW
The Millennial Generation
Millennium (Y generation or Genme) was born between 1981 to 1999, the generation
group that replaced the previous generation. The millennium generation has been marked by
economic prosperity, the advancement of instant communication technology via the internet,
The Effectsof Work Passion,Work Engagement and Job Satisfaction on Turn Over Intention
of the Millennial Generation 265
social networking, and globalization. Like X generations, Millennials value freedom and work-
life balance more than Baby Boomers (Cennamo & Gardner, 2008; Twenge, 2010). They also
place a high value on free time, which means preferring a job that provides more free time
than the previous generation (Twenge, 2010). Regardless of their lower work centrality, the
millennium has higher expectations about promotion and salary increases in the workplace.
Furthermore, they place a greater value on the meaning and satisfaction of work and are
intolerant of less challenging work (Hanna, Kee, & Robertson, 2017). Previous research has
suggested that, based on personality traits among generations, millennials tend to have
different traits characteristic with previous generations, exhibiting higher narcissism, self-
worth, and assertiveness (Twenge, 2001; Twenge, Konrath, Foster, Campbell, & Bushman,
2008).
Passion, Job satisfaction & Turn Over Intention
Passion is a burning desire, a strong belief, and passion that makes people disciplined
to achieve their vision. A person's dream can be realized when he has the desire and intention
to make it happen (Strati, 2016). There are 5 components of passion which include meaningful
connection, internal drive, work absorption, joy, and subjective vitality (Pradhan, Panda, &
Jena, 2017).
Five dimensions of construct passion which includes meaningful connection, internal
drive, work absorption, joy, and subjective vitality (Pradhan et al., 2017). Meanwhile, the
dimensions that support work engagement are vigor, dedication and absorption (Schaufeli,
Salanova, González-romá, & Akker, 2002; Lisbona, Palaci, Salanova, & Frese, 2018). From this
explanation, the effect of work passion on work engagement appears in the work absorption
dimension. Trépanier, Fernet, Austin, Forest, & Vallerand (2013) found that work passion
affects the increase in work engagement.
Individuals will become passionate about certain activities through two important
processes, namely the assessment of activities and internalization of the representation of
activities in the core aspects of the self (Sanders, Wang, Schooler, & Smallwood, 2017).
Meanwhile, one of the factors that drives someone to achieve job satisfaction is hygiene and
intrinsic factors (Robbins & Judge, 2013). Intrinsic factors include achievement, recognition,
responsibility, and growth can be related to job satisfaction so that if employees are satisfied
with their work, they tend to relate to intrinsic factors. So that the influence of work passion
on job satisfaction appears in the internal factors of employees. Houlfort, Philippe, Vallerand,
& Ménard (2014) and Burke, Astakhova, & Hang(2015) found that work passion has an effect
on increasing job satisfaction.
Job satisfaction, Work Engagement & Turn Over Intention
Job satisfaction is closely related to the attitudes of employees to their own work,
work situation, cooperation between leaders with fellow employees. Robbins & Judge (2013)
reveals that job satisfaction is a positive feeling about work, resulting from an evaluation of its
characteristics. Similarly, according to Gibson (2009) job satisfaction is closely related to
employee attitudes toward his work, this is the result of employee perceptions of his job.
266 Jurnal Manajemen dan Pemasaran Jasa Vol. 11 No. 2 September 2018
May, Gilson, & Harter (2004), conceptualizes work engagement in work as a member
of an organization that performs its job’s role, works, and expresses himself physically,
cognitively, and emotionally during work. These employee attachments are indispensable to
encourage employee morale. More specifically, Agoi (2015) defines work engagement as a
positive, work-related mental attitude that has vigor, dedication, and absorption
characteristics.
All variables in this study have been eligible due to its reliable values which higher
than 0.70.

Hypothesis Development
Quality to survive is a positive form of turnover intention. This aspect states that someone
who has high work passion is not easily discouraged in facing difficulties in his work. This
means there are perseverance and full confidence. Passion is a burning desire, a strong belief
and encouragement that makes people disciplined to achieve their vision (Lajom, Amarnani,
Restubog, Bordia, & Tang, 2017). Burke et al., (2015) and Zigarmi, Nimon, Houson, Witt, &
Diehl (2011) found that harmonious work passion affects the decline in turnover intention.
The Effectsof Work Passion,Work Engagement and Job Satisfaction on Turn Over Intention
of the Millennial Generation 267
Turnover intention is majorly caused by a willingness to obtain a better job. To counter
this, corporate should develop employee’s intention to stay. This is the positive terminology
for turnover intention. This aspect states that employee with the high work passion
preference would not be desperate in facing the difficulties within their job (Lajom et al.,
2017). Other things are employee with a high level of engagement would not hand off even
when they are in a complicated situation within their job. Another statement mentioned that
intention to stay will happen as long as the employee receives their satisfaction while doing
their job (Robbins & Judge, 2013).

Booth & Hamer (2007) examine variables influencing employee turnover in the retail
sector. This study uses a case study method on major retail companies using data from annual
employee surveys, shopkeeper characteristics, and internal employee turnover data from
every retail company in the UK. Based on the findings, the level of job satisfaction experienced
by employees is significant in estimating employee turnover. Employees are considered to
experience job satisfaction when their work suits their needs and interests and when working
conditions and rewards (e.g., salary) are satisfactory, and when they like their co-workers
(Yousef, 2017). Researchers assume employees who feel their work cannot meet their needs,
do not like their current working conditions, then the employee will have a tendency to quit
their job. Disappointment with the treatment of co-workers is also one of the causes of a
person's dissatisfaction with the company, which in turn can bring emotions that can be
released to the company in the form of the intention to change jobs (Tiarapuspa & Riani,
2018). These results are consistent with previous studies that found a negative relationship
between voluntary turnover and job satisfaction (Booth & Hamer, 2007).
H4: The influence of Job Satisfaction on Turn Over Intention is significantly negative
Further, Bakker & Leiter (2010) indicates that when employees are engaged, they feel
compelled to try to move towards challenging goals and expect success. In addition, work
engagement reflects the energy of employees brought in the work. Therefore, the
characteristics of engaged employees lie not only on having the capacity to be energetic, but
to enthusiastically apply the energy they have to work. Of the three components of the
attitude, we will be able to know that employees who are engaged in their work will definitely
provide the attitude 1) the spirit, 2) dedication, and 3) absorption, which can be analyzed
applicatively. The driving force behind the importance of engagement in work has positive
consequences for organizations called organizational commitment. Van Beek, Hu, Schaufeli,
Taris, & Schreurs (2012) and May, Gilson, & Harter (2004) found that work engagement has an
effect on decreasing turnover intention. Elements that affect turnover intention are job
satisfaction, organizational commitment and work engagement.

RESEARCH METHODS
This research was conducted at the Belant Persada Ltd. This is a corporate that
dominantly employs millennial workforces of its overall employee. The population in this
research is all the millennial workforces of Belant Persada Ltd i.e. 58 employees. The sample
in this study are including the population which are listed as the employee as of February
2017. Data were collected through a questionnaire with 73 items of statement consistedof
work passion variable with 3 dimension which are harmonious passion, obsessive passion and
general passion.For turnover intention variable consists of single indicator that is intention to
quit. For work engagement variable was measured by 3 indicators comprising vigor,
dedication and absorption. Lastly, job satisfaction variable was tested by measuring 9
indicatorsi.e. salary, promotion, relation with supernal, benefit, reward, work rule, relation
with partner, job description and communication.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The data results of the respondents in this study were analyzed using software
Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) V.22 with Macro by Hayes and Preacher 2013.
The first stage of data processing scale analyzes (validity and reliability test). The result of
testing data showed that all statements from four variables were known as valid due to none
of the corrected item-total correlation which is under 0.278. Hence, Turnover intention
variable comprised of 4 statements, as proposed. The four proposed statements of turnover
intention all meet the requirements of validity test. The same results were found on the last
two other variables.As for the work engagement variables of the 16 items, all item statement
contained valid statements. Meanwhile, all of 34 proposed statements for the job satisfaction
passed the requirement.
After the validity and reliability test, the next procces is hypothesis testing which done
by using regression analyze of PROCESS by Hayes and Preacher through SPSS. The test was
carried out to test the effect of direct or indirect influence of the variables examined through
intervening variables. To see whether each variable significantly influences or not is by
looking at LLCI and ULCI columns. As note, LLCI and ULCI should not pass 0 to be concluded as
significantly influence. The assessment of the total impact of variables, in this case are work
passion, turnover intention, work engagement, and job satisfaction, is explained on the result

The data of this research resulted by using Statistical Package for the Social analysis
tool (SPSS).Work passion variable does not have a significant direct influence on turnover
intention because it has LLCI ULCI’s result which passed 0 (-0.04 and 0.82). It means
turnover intention is not affected by the work passion of millennial workforces of Belant
Persada Ltd. Considering the level of significance, which > 0.05 but still < 0.10, it (p= 0.08) is
still in between the range of tolerance for social research. As note, there are two types of
significance result i.e. statistical significance and practical significance. Both have different
interpretation of significance. Statistical significance is accountable, therefore it could be
objectively proven. In the other side, practical significance considers rational-based
justification(Diekhoff, 1992)and (Lumer, 2013). It is caused by the consideration on a measure
of the sample (n) and variability of data. However, although the results prove that work
passion does not negatively influence turnover intention, it may support the assumption that
mediation variables needed to relate the connection between those variables.
Work passion has a direct influence on the work engagement because the LLCI
ULCI’s result does not pass 0 (0.42 and 0.91). This is in line with the five dimensions of work
passion which related to the work engagement i.e. meaningful connection, internal drive,
work absorption, joy and subjective vitality. Meanwhile, the dimensions which support work
engagement are vigor, dedication and absorption (Basikin, 2007). According to the prior-
mentioned statement, it shows that the effect of work passion to work engagement is seen on
the work absorption. These results support the earlier research by (Trépanier et al.,
2013)stated harmonious passion was related positively to work engagement, whereas
obsessive passion was not significantly related to work engagement.
Work passion has a direct influence on the job satisfaction because the LLCIULCI’s
result does not pass 0 (0.36 0.73). Internal factor may correlate these variables. Firstly, the
employee will be passionate through two important processes “how do we see the activity”
and “internalization of the activity on how do we see our self on doing the activity”(Sanders et
al., 2017). Herzberg added that secondly, one of supporting factor to job satisfaction is
internal factor or factor from the employee itself in seeing the meaning of satisfaction. This
internal factor covers achievement, recognition, responsibility and development. Therefore,
270 Jurnal Manajemen dan Pemasaran Jasa Vol. 11 No. 2 September 2018
the employee tends to relate their satisfaction in work with this internal factor. This supports
the prior research by (Houlfort et al., 2014)and (Burke et al., 2015).
Work engagement does not have significant direct influence on turnover intention. It
is reasoned by the result of ULCI and LLCI which pass 0 (- 0.35 and 0.62). It means that
turnover intention is not affected by work engagement. On its definition, work engagement is
two ways of interaction between employee and the company (Development, 2005) and
(Persson, 2010). The engaged employee is characterized with having motivation, satisfied
feeling, having commitment, meaningful feeling, proud feeling and relation with organization.
According to this, it might be caused by the low level of satisfied feeling which affects the
work engagement of the respondents. Hence, it shows that work engagement would be lost if
the company is not capable to manage their employee satisfyingly.
Job satisfaction is proven to bring significant and negative effect on turnover intention
according to the ULCI LLCI’s result which does not pass 0 (- 1.71 and 0.46). This is to show
that the more employee is satisfied, the less their intention to quit is, vice versa. This supports
the prior researches by (Jawahar & Hemmasi, 2006; Reukauf, 2018; Saeed, Waseem, Sikander,
& Rizwan, 2014; Hidayat, 2018; and Alshammari, Ayed, Qaied, Al-mawali, & Matalqa, 2016).
Based on the results of this Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), it shows
that work passion (X) does not affect directly on turnover intention (Y). Hence the role of
mediation (M) variable is needed. Work engagement (M1) and job satisfaction (M2) are two
chosen variables to mediate the X to Y. The results present that work engagement does not
mediate the direct effect of X to Y due to the ULCI LLCI’s result which pass 0 (- 0.25 and
0.49). It is because on the prior test of direct effect of work engagement on turnover
intention has shown disaffected of turnover intention by work engagement. It tends to
support the assumption that work engagement would be improved through strengthening the
job satisfaction as one of its characteristics. In practice, it needs the role of company to
intervene the turnover intention problem of its employee. On the second mediation variable
test, job satisfaction is proven mediating the passion impacts on turn over intention. It is
concluded by seeing the ULCI and LLCI’s result which does not pass 0 (-1.14 and -0.22). It
declares that job satisfaction could significantly turn the direct relation of work passion on
turnover intention into negative. It is to show that job satisfaction of the employee should be
stressed to push down their turnover intention. In addition, based on total indirect effect
result, it shows that both of mediation variables could together mediate the X on Y since its
ULCI and LLCI’s result does not pass 0 (-1.02 and -0.21). This is to conclude the assumption
that job satisfaction can affect work engagement to influence the relation between work
passion and turnover intention.
CONCLUSION
In accordance with the objectives to be achieved through the theoretical study, based
on research methods, collected data and results of the data processed by using Statistical
Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), this study found significant positive influence between
work passions to work engagement as well as work passion to job satisfaction. Next, it also
found significant negative influence between job satisfaction and turnover intention.

of the Millennial Generation 271
However, neither variable of work passion nor variable of work engagement affects directly
on turnover intention. For the indirect effect through mediation, job satisfaction significantly
mediate work passion on turnover intention, not as like the variable of work engagement.
According to the result, job satisfaction is needed to strengthen the path between work
passion and turnover intention. It may also tend to increase work engagement of the
employee to push down turnover intention.
IMPLICATION
Recalling the survey’s result, the level of job satisfaction of Belant Persada Ltd’s
employee is 5.78 on average. Referring to the detail, the company has successfully fulfilled the
satisfaction of its millennial employee in terms of employee’s relation such as relation with
superiors, relation with work mate and work communication. Hence, the company should
retain these points. In the other hand, the company should consider the indicators of job
satisfaction’s variable which are still below level where most likely related to the right of
employee i.e. salary increment, add more benefit values, promotion opportunity,
achievement distribution, job desk re-allotment and job rule’s review.
LIMITATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
Maximization of existing theory, data collection and research methodologies have
been sought in carrying out this research. This research was conducted through corporate-
basis which using Belant Persada ltd, specifically its millennial employees as of February 2017,
hence it could not be generalized.

... Hence, employees will be motivated to contribute more by keeping their membership in the organisation. An addition to the reason to include work engagement as mediator in this study is that it has been proven in many studies that work engagement is significantly affected by work passion (Purba & Ananta, 2018) quality of work life (Kanten & Sadullah, 2012;Sahni, 2019). And according to job demands-resouces (JDR) model, work engagement was confirmed as a mediator of the correlation between job resources and organisational outcomes. ...

Study on millenial generation is essential to conduct since in the near future the millenials will dominate the workforce and hold strategic positions in industry. According to references, millenials are well-known for their reluctance to stay working in one place for a long-time period. Many speculations have arisen to explain the issue, whether it is caused by their positive as well as the negative characteristics. This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting millenial’s intention to stay. Three levels of context were involved as researched variables, namely work passion, quality of work life, and work engagement as mediator. Quantitative and non-experimental study was applied to test the hypotheses. Using convenience sampling technique, 125 millenial workers in Jakarta, Indonesia, were recruited and completed the online questionnaires. The questionnaires to measure the researched variables are Intention to Stay Scale, Work Passion Scale, Quality of Work Life Scale, and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES). Regression analysis reported that intention to stay was significantly affected by work passion and quality of work life. Moreover, work engagement was also proven to be a significant mediator that bridged the association between intention to stay and both of independent variables, namely work passion and quality of work life.
... Studies show that harmonious passion is positively correlated with job satisfaction, as observed among high-performance athletes and teachers (Faria et al. 2020;Prates et al. 2019). Generation Y values work-life balance, where work passion and satisfaction contribute to reducing turnover and increasing commitment (Purba and Ananta 2018). ...

In the modern workplace, understanding the dynamics of work passion and its consequences on employee well-being is crucial. This quantitative study, conducted with Portuguese workers, seeks to examine and validate the Dualistic Model of Passion, which distinguishes between harmonious and obsessive passion, while also exploring the intricate relationships among work passion, job satisfaction, work–family conflict, and burnout. Using mediation analyses and structural equation modeling (SEM), a convenience sample of 326 participants (169 men and 157 women), aged between 19 and 69 years (M = 41.31, SD = 10.52), was analyzed to uncover how different types of work passion—obsessive and harmonious—impact professional outcomes and well-being. The findings reveal that obsessive passion for work is a significant predictor of work–family conflict, which, in turn, escalates the risk of burnout. In contrast, harmonious passion is positively associated with increased job satisfaction and acts as a buffer against the negative effects of work–family conflict. Notably, contrary to initial assumptions, obsessive passion does not directly precipitate burnout. Mediation analyses confirmed that work–family conflict plays a key role in this process, while SEM results demonstrated strong model fit indices, reinforcing its relevance and applicability in organizational settings. These results offer crucial insights for both theoretical advancement and practical applications, highlighting the importance of fostering a work environment that nurtures harmonious passion. By doing so, organizations can mitigate conflict and burnout while promoting higher levels of job satisfaction among employees.
... Generation Z tend to dislike complex regulations within a company, and will resign when rules do not conform with their preferences (Kusumawati et al., 2021). This is the primary reason for switching from one job to another, also known as turnover (Purba & Ananta, 2018). Eventually, this situation becomes a key factor contributing to the high turnover rates among Generation Z (Wijoyo et al., 2020). ...

Teaching is a demanding profession that can jeopardize the physical and mental health of teachers. Generation Z teachers, born between 1995 and 2009, are innovative, flexible, and adaptive in the teaching approach but dislike complicated rules and tend to change job, resulting to increased turnover intention. One of the predictors affecting turnover intention is job stress, an aspect that has not been previously explored. Therefore, this correlational quantitative study aimed to investigate the role of resilience in determining the magnitude of the effect of job stress on turnover intention. The participants were 170 Generation Z teachers from private elementary schools in District X Medan. The study instrument included job stress scale adapted from Dinyati (2019), turnover intention scale from Bothma & Roodt (2013), and resilience scale from Connor and Davidson (2003). The SEM test results showed that resilience played a crucial role in determining the strength of the effect of job stress. The effect of stress on turnover intention decreased with increase in resilience and vice versa.
... This shows that each organization has a different treatment for its employees so the variable of job satisfaction does not necessarily affect the employee turnover intention (Rembang and Wijono, 2023). In this case, the authors conclude that there are still variances in research results, both pros and cons, between job satisfaction and turnover intention (Purba & Ananta, 2018). ...

It has become a challenge for employers to retain their employees for a longer period. This perspective emphasizes the significance of the study of motivation, job satisfaction and its relationship to employee turnover intention. While employee turnover and turnover intention are extensively studied in organizational research, there is a scarcity of studies focusing on lawyers. The scarcity of academic literature and research within the legal profession (Attorney General’s Office, 2019) highlights the need for further research on this issue among lawyers. Therefore, this study analyzes how work motivation influences lawyers' job satisfaction and turnover intention. The study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional data collection approach, gathering information from 218 public-sector lawyers in the Maldives. The findings from this study indicate a positive association between work motivation and job satisfaction. The findings also revealed that work motivation positively impacts the job satisfaction of lawyers in the public sector in the Maldives, subsequently influencing their turnover intention. The findings provide significant implications for organizations in improving the human resource management functions of the organizations where lawyers work.

In an era of dynamic work, millennials face unique challenges related to job stress that can impact their intention to leave their job, known as turnover intention. This scientific article explores the relationship between work stress and turnover intentions in the millennial generation, focusing on the mediating role of supervisor support to reexamine whether superiors are one of the determinants of millennial employee turnover intentions. This study used a non-probability sampling method with a purposive sampling technique. The subjects of research were millennial generation employees, with at least 3 months of work. Respondents came from Malaysia (64 people) and Indonesia (152 people), with a total of 216 respondents. The instruments used were the Turnover Intention Scale, General Work Stress, and Supervisor Support which have been tested. The research results show: 1). a quite strong and significant relationship between work stress and turnover intention; 2). supervisor support is not significant on turnover intentions; and 3). The effect of work stress on turnover intention with supervisor support as moderate is not significant. The novelty of the results of this research is that it is very inspiring information for management policies for millennial employees who want to stop working by overcoming sources of work stress and fostering a collegial nature with co-workers. Research implications are discussed

Purpose: This study examines the effect and correlation between work passion (by its four dimensions: enjoyment, self-motivation, self-identity and making sense of learning) and workplace incivility (by its four dimensions: hostility, invasion of privacy, gossiping, and withdrawal behavior). Design/Methodology: Relying on a sample of 813 teaching staff members in the private schools in Al-Qadisiya Governorate, the analysis uses AMOS v.20 and SPSS v.24 statistical programs. Research Results: The results show a moderate level of work enjoyment in the sample, which indicates that individuals in those private schools enjoy their work and they are willing to stay keep it. In addition, the level of enjoyment gives them some motivation to come to work and some satisfaction about it without feeling tired or bored in performing their work. Research Recommendations: To clarify the toxic footprint of deviant behaviors and their risky consequences, it is important for the school administration to enact a code of conduct and standards rules of professionalism to include a set of guidelines and directions that help individuals conduct their work in accordance with the ethical and professional values that elevate the educational process.

Knowledge based industries where human capital is very important are increasingly concerned about retaining human talent. We use a social network perspective to determine the effect of negative ties on an employee’s turnover intentions. Interpersonal dislike ties and conflicting ties are hypothesized to be positively related to turnover intentions, keeping job fit and sacrifice as control variables. Collecting socio-metric and conventional data from 100 employees in an organization related to security and information of Pakistani individuals, OLS regression reveled that an employee’s number of dislike ties has a positive and significant impact of employee’s turnover intentions. Whereas an employee’s number of conflicting ties does not significantly impact turnover intentions.

Background: Two popular concepts, work engagement and personal initiative, are different but related constructs. This study is based on and extends the Frese and Fay (2001) model of personal initiative (PI) by including work engagement (WE) and self-efficacy as antecedents of PI, and performance as a consequence. Method: Two studies (study 1, with a cross-sectional design using N = 396 participants from 22 organizations, and study 2, with a longitudinal design conducted in two waves with N = 118 participants from 15 organizations) test the hypotheses. Results: Structural equation modeling and the PROCESS SPSS Macro were used to test the hypothesized mediating role of personal initiative in work engagement and performance, and the results show the indirect effect of WE on performance through PI. Conclusions: The results of these two studies confirmed our hypotheses: WE and self-efficacy lead to higher PI, which, in turn, leads to higher performance. In addition to considering WE as an antecedent of PI, the results lead to considering PI as an antecedent of performance.

The intent of the study is to understand the moderating role of passion between purpose and performance. Data were collected through structured questionnaire from 307 officials working in eastern zone of Indian Railways. After establishing the psychometric properties of the scales through structural equation modeling (SEM), hierarchical regression analysis was carried out to examine the interacting effect of passion. For simultaneous assessment of moderation effect the model was cross-examined in SEM using LISREL 8.52. Positive relationship was evident between purpose and performance. Passion was found to be positively moderating the relationship between purpose and performance. The results have explored that the effect of purpose on performance is more indirect than direct in nature. Along with purpose employees need to be fueled with passion on continuous basis to drive performance. The findings of the study are expected to instill purposeful engagement and strategies to propel the passion among working executives.

Drawing on the dualistic model of passion, we conducted a construct validation of the passion for work scale across four samples of employees and students. Specifically, we tested the two-factor structure of the model and examined the convergent, discriminant, and criterion validity of passion for work against conceptually similar work motivation and career-relevant constructs. Findings support the duality of the passion for work (i.e., harmonious and obsessive), its uniqueness as a motivational work construct, and its consequences on career-related outcomes. The findings also contribute to the increasing breadth of the passion literature across various contexts and its consequences for one’s work and career experiences.

The number of Facebook users grew rapidly since its conception. Within today’s workplace, employees are increasingly connecting with each other on Facebook for interpersonal reasons. Due to sensational reports by media outlets of inappropriate social media use, many organizations are taking extreme measures about how their employees who utilize Facebook to connect with colleagues. Contrary to the negative assumptions, McAfee [1] states that social media within the workplace can promote positive dynamics. The present study uses McAfee’s argument to examine if a positive connection exists between colleagues who use Facebook to connect with each other. An online survey with questions involving Facebook use with co-workers, job satisfaction, and perceived job calling was completed by employees (N=70) at two high-tech companies in Northern California, USA. Results revealed that job satisfaction is positively correlated with intensity of Facebook use among co-workers. Furthermore, feeling called to one’s line of work was statistically significantly higher for the group of employees who spent the most amount of time interacting on Facebook with their co-workers than the group that spent the least amount of time. These results suggest that companies could begin to explore the positive benefits of social media use within the workplace.

Research findings on job involvement and turnover intentions have been somewhat mixed. Scholars have often studied job involvement as an antecedent of some employee and organization outcomes, including job satisfaction and turnover. The present study examines the antecedents of job involvement and factors influencing it. Namely, organizational attractiveness, pay satisfaction, and organizational support. I also examine the effects of job satisfaction, job involvement, person-organization fit, and organizational support on turnover intentions and whether mediation mechanisms exist underlying the relationships between these constructs and turnover intentions. The analysis yielded mixed results for both constructs, involvement and turnover; suggesting further studies might be necessary, and that incorporating more intervening variables might help improve our understanding of the interrelationships between these constructs. Results are discussed and future research directions are suggested.

Trying to focus on a piece of text, and keep unrelated thoughts at bay, can be a surprisingly futile experience. The current study explored the effects of different instructions on participants' capacity to control their mind-wandering and maximise reading comprehension, while reading. Participants were instructed to (i) enhance focus on what was read (External) or (ii) enhance meta-awareness of mind-wandering (Internal). To understand when these strategies were important we induced a state of self-focus in half of our participants at the beginning of the experiment. Results replicated the negative association between mind-wandering and comprehension and demonstrated that both Internal and External instructions impacted on the efficiency of reading following a period of induced self-focus. Techniques that foster meta-awareness improved task focus but did so at the detriment of reading comprehension, while promoting a deeper engagement while reading improved comprehension with no changes in reported mind-wandering. These data provide insight into how we can control mind-wandering, improve comprehension and underline that a state of self-focus is a condition under which they should be employed. Furthermore, these data support component process models that propose the self-referent mental contents that arise during mind-wandering are distinguishable from those processes that interfere with comprehension.
