Abstract
Guided by social identification theory, this study explores the relationship between post‐migration place identity, career development satisfaction and turnover intentions among Chinese millennial migrant workers in manufacturing sector. We propose that career development satisfaction will mediate the negative relationship between post‐migration place identity and turnover intentions among the millennial migrant workers and that these workers’ organizational identification will moderate the relationship between post‐migration place identity and turnover intentions such that place identity has a stronger negative impact on turnover intention for employees higher on organizational identification as compared to those who are lower on organizational identification.
Using SPSS Macro PROCESS (Model5), we tested these hypotheses on a sample of 435 millennial migrant workers in 26 firms in manufacturing sector in China. The results support the theoretical model.
