Abstract

Job embeddedness (JE) construct is a construct that is relatively new and still somewhat ‘hazy’ in its definition. A clearer understanding of what we know and what we still do not know about JE and its relationships would lend a better suggestion to future research directions for testing the JE construct. This study reviews 37 papers published between 2001 and 2011 that met the criteria of being quantitative and qualitative studies on JE. Through an inductive review, we unravel a model of (a) antecedents to JE that explains what factors affect JE, (b) moderating and mediating effect of JE and (c) an outcome of JE. Based on our review, we propose directions for future research that will bring greater understanding of the relationship between JE and other constructs.
