The Interactive Effects of Perceived External Prestige and Need for Organizational Identification on Turnover Intentions
Mignonac, Karim; Herrbach, Olivier; Guerrero, Sylvie
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v69 n3 p477-493 Dec 2006
Recent research has highlighted the importance of understanding the influence of an organization's external image on its members. Although progress has been made in understanding how perceived external prestige relates to workplace outcomes, researchers have not examined the joint effect of perceived external prestige and individual differences on such outcomes. In this article, we tested the impact of perceived external prestige on turnover intentions, but we also assumed that this influence is moderated by individuals' need for organizational identification. Using three samples and a longitudinal research design, we found consistent support for this assumption. These results provide empirical support for the theoretical integration of social identity and need-based motivation theories.
