The Effect of Authentic Leadership on Job Embeddedness: A Study on Healthcare Professionals

Summary/Abstract: The rate of turnover in the healthcare sector, as in many other industries, is a crucial problem. Job embeddedness is one of the most important elements in reducing turnover and keeping employees in their jobs. Knowing about the antecedents of the concept of job embeddedness is not much. Many studies have revealed that leadership styles have a substantial impact on followers' behavior. On the other hand, the number of studies examining the relationship between leadership behavior and job embeddedness, is limited. Based on all of these, the aim of this research is to determine whether authentic leadership behavior affects the level of job embeddedness of employees. In the study, the effect of authentic leadership behavior, with the basis of dimensions, on employee job embeddedness dimensions was analyzed. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 240 healthcare employees in Mersin. According to the findings, authentic leadership behavior has a positive effect on the fit dimension. In addition, authentic leadership behavior also has a positive effect on the sacrifice dimension. However, contrary to the hypothesis, authentic leadership behavior has no effect on the links dimension. It is expected that the research will contribute to the studies that determine the antecedents of job embeddedness. Furthermore, it is aimed to contribute by examining authentic leadership behavior and job embeddedness from the perspective of the health sector and thus guide another research.
