THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE, COMMITMENT AND INTENT TO STAY OF EMPLOYEES CONSIDERED AS TALENTS: DOES GENDER MATTER?

Abstract

This research aims to examine the gender specific
effects of procedural and distributive justice on
the intention to stay among employees considered
as talents and to determine whether organizational
commitment plays a mediating role in these relationships. The data for this study come from a survey
conducted among a sample of 220 talents working
in organizations in the Centre-Val de Loire region in
France. The main results indicate that only distributive justice increases intention to stay among female
talents. Further, organizational commitment acted
as a mediating variable only among female talents.
Among male talents, only procedural justice increased
organizational commitment, however no impact of
procedural justice was found on their intention to
stay. The article concludes by elucidating important
recommendations to increase retention of talents by
reinforcing their intention to stay.
