Should I Stay or Should I Go? The Role of Motivational Climate and Work-Home Spillover for Turnover Intentions.

Emerging trends in the workforce point to the necessity of facilitating work lives that foster constructive and balanced relationships between professional and private spheres in order to retain employees. Drawing on the conservation of resources theory, we propose that motivational climate influences turnover intention through the facilitation of work-home spillover. Specifically, we argue that employees working in a perceived mastery climate are less likely to consider voluntarily leaving their employer because of increased positive-and reduced negative-work-home spillover experiences.
