The Impact of Knowledge Workers' Sense of Professional Mission on Turnover Intention Research From the Lawyer Industry
Keywords:
Professional Mission, Professional Identity, Turnover IntentionAbstract
This article takes the sense of professional mission in the work value orientation of knowledge-based employees as the independent variable, turnover intention as the dependent variable, and professional identity as the mediating variable to empirically test the impact of the sense of professional mission in the work value orientation on the turnover intention of knowledge-based employees, as well as the mediating role of professional identity in it. Based on career construction theory, social exchange theory, and self-determination theory, a hypothetical model of the relationship between career mission, career identity, and turnover intention is proposed. The research results indicate that the sense of professional mission of knowledge-based employees has a significant positive impact on career identity and turnover intention. The relationship between professional identity and the sense of professional mission and turnover intention is partially mediated by professional identity.
