Abstract

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of human resource development on turnover intention through the mediating role of organizational commitment. Design/methodology/approach - This paper used a quantitative research design. Data were collected from 204 flight attendants employees working at Royal Jordanian Airlines Company using an email survey questionnaire. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was adopted to test the hypothesized model. Findings - The results assure positive effect of human resource development (HRD) on organizational commitment. Negative effect of both HRD and organizational commitment to turnover intention is observed. The results also confirm that the effect of HRD on turnover intention is negatively mediated by organizational commitment. Originality/value - This research paper extends the literature by empirically adducing evidence that organizational commitment negatively mediated the effect of human resource development on turnover intention of the airlines in Jordan. 研究目的 - 本研究擬透過組織承諾的中介角色,探討人力資源發展對離職意向的影響。 研究設計/方法/理念 - 本研究採用了定量研究法。數據透過電郵問卷調查,從204名在皇家約旦航空公司工作的機艙服務員取得的。研究人員使用結構方程模型來測試假設模型。 研究結果 - 研究結果確認了人力資源發展對組織承諾的積極作用,也肯定了人力資源發展和組織承諾兩者對離職意向的負面影響。研究結果亦確認了人力資源發展對離職意向的影響,是會受組織承諾負介導的。 研究的局限 - 由於研究在約旦的航空工業內進行,故取得的數據不能概括地廣泛應用於其他行業上。 研究的啟示 - 研究的結果,在人力資源發展、組織承諾和離職文獻的知識體系上提供了新的信息。本研究亦顯示了在一個仍未充分探討、處於發展中國家的公司的背景下,人力資源發展、組織承諾與離職意向三者之間的相互作用。由於過去對人力資源發展和離職的研究大多是在發達國家進行的,故本研究的結果,確切證明了在發展中國家的背景裡,機艙服務員對人力資源發展的看法,會影響其態度的情感部分和行為意向。再者,本研究或可填補以發展中國家為背景之離職文獻研究缺口,尤其是約旦。實際上,面對員工有離職意向這挑戰的航空公司管理階層或需特別關注這個學術研究,這也正是本研究主要的啟示。航空公司經理和政策制定者可使用本研究的結果、作為他們研發人員保持策略的指導原則,以把員工離職的意欲減至最低。 研究的原創性/價值 - 研究以實驗為依據,引證了就約旦航空公司而言,人力資源發展對離職意向的影響,是會受組織承諾負介導的。
