Abstract
The problem of turnover intentions has continued to draw the interest
of researchers, HR practitioners and employers. However the moderating role
of community embeddedness in the relationship between Human Resource
Management (HRM) practices and turnover intentions has received little
attention. The study thus sought to investigate the moderating effect of
community embeddedness in the relationship between HRM practices and
turnover intention of teachers in public secondary schools in Murang’a county
Kenya. The study was guided by the Social Exchange, Theory (SET) and Job
Embeddedness Theory. The target population was 3752 Teachers Service
Commission (TSC) teachers in 304 public secondary schools in Murang’a
county Kenya. The study used multi stage random and purposive sampling
methods to select a sample size of 400 teachers. A self-administered semistructured questionnaire was used to collect data. The quantitative data was
analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study
indicated that community embeddedness moderates the relationship between
HRM Practices and turnover intentions of teachers in public secondary schools
in Murang’a county Kenya. The study thus concluded that community
embeddedness plays an important role in turnover intentions decision of
teachers.
