Abstrakt: Purpose: This paper aims to understand whether the relationship between psychological empowerment, psychological well-beingand higher person–job fit based on the self-determination theory could have mitigated the Great Resignation crisis. Design/methodology/approach: A cross-sectional study was conducted by collecting data from 351 respondents working in Indian organizations (Nifty, 2020) using a standardized questionnaire by using the multifaceted psychological construct within the work context. Findings: This study highlights that a moderated mediation relationship between psychological empowerment(specifically “impact” or “choice”) and psychological well-being(specifically “environmental mastery”) is impacted by the person–job “demand-abilities” fit and enhances the intention to stay in the current “great resignation” context. Practical implications: The authors map the theoretical and empirical research of the “intention to stay” by developing the “demand-abilities” fit, which leads to higher levels of psychological empowermentand psychological well-beingto build adaptability through effective learning practices. Originality/value: The authors establish the underlying linkages and future research agenda to strengthen the “intention to stay” during the extraordinarily stressful context of the covid-19 pandemic.
