A Study on the Relationship among Industrial Relations Climate, Dual Commitment and Turnover Intention during the Period of Economic Transition in China
Abstract
With the transition of industrial relations in China, industrial relations in companies are becoming increasingly complex and diverse, which leads to more and more contradictions and conflicts between companies and workers, and the resulting problems become the focus of scholars, especially employee turnover. This paper adopts 450 employees from Shandong, Guangdong and other places as samples, structuring a conceptual model of the relationship between industrial relations climate and turnover intention through bringing in dual commitment as mediator, and use multiple linear regression method to verify it. Research finds: (1) industrial relations climate has a negative effect on turnover intention; (2) dual commitment plays as mediator in the process. This paper can not only supplement relative study on industrial relations climate in China, but lead managers to pay more attention to establish harmonious industrial relations in companies to decrease turnover rate.
