What is it about?
Facing a new round of global industrial restructuring, it is vital for less-developed yet populous regions to build a happy, engaged workforce to achieve competitiveness. This study integrates an indigenous cultural perspective (i.e., Muslim religious belief) with the job embeddedness theory to delve into employee wellbeing-turnover issues in a large developing country ingrained with Muslim culture.

Why is it important?
The research considers turnover intention as an outcome of a three-way interaction among employee wellbeing, Muslim religious belief, and organization embeddedness, thus proposing insightful implications for other developing-country enterprises, particularly those ingrained with Muslim culture.
Perspectives
We propose a novel model which demonstrates the effects of employee work-and life-related wellbeing on turnover intention from a unique angle by incorporating Muslim religious belief with organizational embeddedness, contributing to the existing body of knowledge. The applicability of Western concepts to immature markets is also examined.
