Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the simultaneous effect of ethical leadership (EL) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) on employees’ turnover intention and examine the mediating mechanism in these relationships. The authors conducted a field study of 851 employees across a variety of industries. This study applied partial least squares structural equation modelling for hypothesis testing. The results show that employees’ perceptions of CSR as well as EL are both uniquely and negatively related to turnover intention. Research limitations have been discussed in the paper. Social implications: Through providing empirical support for the positive impact of CSR and EL on employee-related outcomes and creating a decent and empowering work environment, this study provides further support for CSR and EL. Previous research has found that both employees’ perceptions of supervisory EL and CSR are negatively related to employees’ turnover intentions.
