Abstract

Abstract. Human resources are a strategic asset that organizations must retain, yet turnover intention remains a persistent challenge that raises recruitment costs, reduces productivity, and disrupts the completion of work targets. Job embeddedness an individual’s attachment to work and environment through the dimensions of links, fit, and sacrifice is theorized to lower turnover intention. This study examined the influence of job embeddedness on turnover intention among outsourced blue-collar workers on a construction project. A quantitative correlational design was applied to 64 outsourced workers selected through total sampling. Job embeddedness was measured using a scale adapted from Mitchell et al. (2001) and turnover intention was measured using a scale adapted from Mobley (1977) Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS. Results showed that job embeddedness had a significant negative effect on turnover intention (F = 56.388; p = 0.000), with an Adjusted R² of 0.725, indicating that 72.5% of the variance in turnover intention was explained by the links, fit, and sacrifice dimensions. Partially, sacrifice showed the strongest effect (β = −0.334; t = −3.349; p = 0.001). These findings suggest that stronger job embeddedness, particularly the sacrifice dimension, is associated with lower turnover intention and may be considered in designing retention strategies for outsourced construction workers.

Abstrak Sumber daya manusia merupakan aset strategis yang perlu dipertahankan karena berperan penting dalam mendukung keberlangsungan dan daya saing organisasi. Salah satu tantangan dalam retensi karyawan adalah turnover intention, yaitu kecenderungan individu untuk meninggalkan organisasi yang dapat meningkatkan biaya rekrutmen, menurunkan produktivitas, dan mengganggu penyelesaian target. Salah satu faktor yang diduga menurunkan turnover intention adalah job embeddedness, yaitu keterikatan individu terhadap pekerjaan dan lingkungannya melalui dimensi links, fit, dan sacrifice. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh job embeddedness terhadap turnover intention pada pekerja outsourcing proyek konstruksi. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain korelasional terhadap 64 pekerja outsourcing yang dipilih menggunakan teknik total sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan skala job embeddedness berdasarkan teori Mitchell et al. (2001) dan skala turnover intention berdasarkan teori Mobley (1977) Analisis data menggunakan regresi linear berganda dengan bantuan program SPSS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa job embeddedness berpengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap turnover intention (F = 56,388; p = 0,000). Nilai Adjusted R² sebesar 0,725 menunjukkan bahwa 72,5% turnover intention dapat dijelaskan oleh dimensi links, fit, dan sacrifice. Secara parsial, dimensi sacrifice memiliki pengaruh paling kuat (β = −0,334; t = −3,349; p = 0,001). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi job embeddedness pekerja outsourcing proyek konstruksi, semakin rendah turnover intention, sehingga dapat dipertimbangkan sebagai salah satu upaya mendukung retensi karyawan.
