Abstract

In this paper we analyze the relationship between family and community links and future intentions to quit from employees at the export processing zone (EPZ) in Tijuana, Mexico. With survey data gathered in an organization belonging to a Tijuana EPZ, we applied the theory of embededdness to identify the causes behind turnover. A questionnaire with 125 items using a 4-points Likert scale was developed to assess job embeddedness, family embeddedness, satisfaction with benefits, and affective commitment and correlated the potential causes with employee’s future intentions to stay or leave the organization. One hundred employees completed surveys. Statistical analyses of their survey data revealed strong relationships between certain predictor variables and intentions to stay.
