Linking emotional dissonance and organizational identification to turnover intention and emotional well-being: a study of medical representatives in India.
Abstract
Infl uencing customers’ perception of service quality through service interaction
is becoming imperative for organizations to sustain competitive advantage.
As a result, the critical challenge before many organizations is to retain
employees in service occupations and promote their well-being. This study
examined the relationship of organizational identifi cation and emotional
dissonance with turnover intention and well-being among a sample of 468
medical representatives in the Indian pharmaceutical industry. Drawing from
the conservation of resource theory, this study shows that apart from its direct
effect, emotional dissonance has a mediating effect on the relationship
of organizational identifi cation with turnover intention and emotional wellbeing.
Contributions of this study to the theory and practice of human resource
management (HRM) are discussed.
