- Abstract
- In the face of blooming development of artificial intelligence and digitalization, there has been a significant surge in demand for those junior technical employees, who are often required to be well-equipped with more sophisticated skills compared to their other age-groups. Nevertheless, when compared to traditional professions, these technical employees perceived a psychological disadvantageous due to the less ‘dignified’ stereotypes by the public. This perception further causes a high turnover rate among these junior technical employees. The study aims at investigating the relationship between occupational stigma and turnover intention among junior technical employees. Additionally, the research further examines the mediating effect from relative deprivation and the moderating effect from perceived interpersonal justice. Based on collected 505 surveys, this study found: (1) occupational stigma has a positive influence on turnover intention; (2)occupational stigma has a positive influence on relative deprivation; (3) relative deprivation has a positive influence on turnover intention; (4) relative deprivation mediates the relationship between occupational stigma and turnover intention; (5) perceived interpersonal justice negatively moderates the relationship between occupational stigma and relative deprivation; meaning, higher scores of perceived interpersonal justice may weaken the relationship between occupational stigma and relative deprivation, and vice versa. Suggestions and implications are provided for future related areas. Paragraph Headings: 1. Introduction 2. Theory and hypothesis 2.1. Occupational stigma and turnover intention 2.2.
