“…In literature dominated by analysis of stress and employee affective response, the JET framework enables the recognition of non-affective influences on the turnover process (Karatepe, 2013;Lang, Kern, & Zapf, 2016;Peltokorpi, Allen, & Froese, 2015).

The present study seeks to propose and test a research model that investigates job embeddedness as a mediator and workplace flexibility as a moderator of the effect of family-work conflict on turnover intentions. This study uses a survey method and a structured questionnaire to collect data from 187 nurses working in various hospitals in Islamabad, Pakistan. The results showed that on-the-job embeddedness partially mediated the effect of work-family conflict on nurses' turnover intention. Furthermore, workplace flexibility moderated the relationship between work-family conflict and turnover intention. Management of the hospitals should take decisive steps to establish and maintain a supportive and flexible work environment because such an environment would help nurses to balance their work (family) and family (work) roles and lead to increased job embeddedness. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to retain high performing nurses in the workplace. The current study contributes to the existing knowledge base by testing job embeddedness as a mediator and workplace flexibility as a moderator of the impact of work-family conflict on turnover intentions of nurses.Hubungan antara Konflik Pekerjaan-Keluarga, Job Embeddedness, Workplace Flexibility, dan Intensi Turnover AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan menguji model penelitian yang melibatkan job embeddedness sebagai mediator dan fleksibilitas tempat kerja sebagai moderator pengaruh konflik pekerjaan-keluarga terhadap intensi turnover. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survei dan kuesioner terstruktur yang menguji data dari 187 perawat berbagai rumah sakit di Islamabad, Pakistan. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa job embeddedness berperan sebagai mediator dari pengaruh konflik pekerjaan-keluarga terhadap intensi turnover perawat. Selanjutnya, fleksibilitas tempat kerja memoderatori hubungan antara konflik pekerjaan-keluarga dengan intensi turnover. Manajemen rumah sakit harus mengambil langkah tegas untuk membangun dan memelihara lingkungan kerja yang mendukung dan fleksibel, karena lingkungan seperti ini akan membantu perawat untuk menyeimbangkan peran mereka dalam keluarga dan pekerjaan sehingga dapat meningkatkan job embeddedness. Jika tidak, akan sangat sulit untuk mempertahankan perawat agar dapat bekerja dengan kinerja yang tinggi. Studi ini berkontribusi pada dasar pengetahuan dengan menguji job embeddedness sebagai mediator dan fleksibilitas tempat kerja sebagai moderator dari pengaruh konflik pekerjaankeluarga terhadap intensi turnover perawat.
