abstract

  • This study examined the interactive effects of individual cultural orientation with work-family conflict on employees' job withdrawal intentions. Using a sample of 394 employees from the banking sector in the United States and China, the authors found that work interfering with family (WIF) was more positively related to job withdrawal intentions among individuals scoring high on idiocentrism. It is interesting to note that the authors (unexpectedly) found that family interfering with work (FIW) was more positively related to job withdrawal intentions for those scoring high on allocentrism or low on, idiocentrism. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.
