ABSTRACT
This study serves to further the understanding of the mechanisms by which the modern Chinese middle manager is motivated to stay with an employer. More specifically, this study investigates the types of employee-organization relationships (EOR) that are useful in retaining middle managers in a context of an extremely tight labor market and many attractive alternatives. Utilizing social exchange theory and social learning theory, this study analyzes the role of organizational trust and psychological empowerment in mediating the influence of mutual investment EOR approach on the middle managers’ intention to leave an employer. With a sample of 450 Chinese middle managers, we found that the mutual investment EOR approach predicts the lowest levels of intention to leave the organization, relative to three other EOR approaches. It also is associated with the highest levels of organizational trust and psychological empowerment. The study further reveals that the motivational mechanism of organizational trust is stronger than that of psychological empowerment. The findings of this study support the importance of a mutual investment relationship with middle managers by an employer and offer deeper insight into the role of cultural context in the motivation of Chinese middle managers.
