Description
Summary:Based on the Conservation of Resources Theory, this research aims to examine the relationship between seasonal employee leadership (SEL) and turnover intention (TI). The data was obtained by administering a survey to 450 seasonal employees working in 15 five‐star hotels in Antalya. The findings revealed that SEL reduces TI, which is an important problem for the tourism industry. The study results show that SEL was negatively related to workplace ostracism (WO) and work alienation (WA) and TI. Further, the findings show the serial mediating effect of WO and WA between SEL and TI. The study makes useful recommendations to managers to eliminate ostracism, curb the feeling of alienation and decrease TI. Résumé En s'appuyant sur la théorie de la conservation des ressources (COR), les auteurs de cette étude examinent la relation entre le leadership des employés saisonniers (SEL) et l'intention de rotation (TI). Les données proviennent d'une enquête menée auprès de 450 employés saisonniers travaillant dans 15 hôtels cinq étoiles d’Antalya. Les résultats montrent que le SEL réduit l'intention de rotation, qui est un problème important dans l'industrie du tourisme. En outre, le SEL est négativement lié à l'ostracisme en milieu professionnel (WO), à l'aliénation au travail (WA) et à l'intention de rotation (TI). Enfin, il existe un effet médiateur en série du WO et du WA entre le SEL et le TI. L’étude comporte des recommandations utiles pouvant aider les gestionnaires à éliminer l'ostracisme, à réduire l'aliénation et à diminuer les intentions de rotation.
