Popis: Job embeddedness is a collection of forces and a motivational variable that enables health care managers to retain employees. In light of this, our empirical study assesses job embeddedness as a mediator linking coworker and supervisor support to nonattendance intentions and extra-role performance. Data gathered from staff nurses in three waves (time lag: 3 weeks) and their head nurses in public hospitals in Northern Cyprus were utilized to assess the abovementioned linkages via structural equation modeling. Staff nurses who obtain sufficient support from their head nurses are highly embedded in their jobs. Such nurses in turn exhibit lower propensity to be late for work (PLW). Simply put, job embeddedness completely mediates the influence of supervisor support on PLW. The rest of the linkages are not supported. Implications of the findings as well as future research directions are presented in this article.
