Job embeddedness and voluntary turnover in the face of job insecurity

Vesa Peltokorpi, David G. Allen

Journal of Organizational Behavior > 45 > 3 > 416 - 433

Two important contributions to the understanding of voluntary turnover are the ideas that employees become embedded in a net or web of restraining forces on‐ and off‐the‐job and that they experience varying degrees of control and desire that yield proximal withdrawal states explaining turnover motivations. We build on these ideas in two multi‐wave studies to study job insecurity, one of the most common...

Opportunism in headhunter‐client relations: An agency theory perspective

Vesa Peltokorpi

Human Resource Management Journal > 34 > 1 > 122 - 137

Recruitment is one of the most important human resource functions for organizational success and survival. While organizations increasingly use headhunters to recruit employees, little research has focused on client‐headhunter relations. This paper draws on agency theory and interviews with 130 contingency‐based headhunters and corporate clients to examine clients' opportunistic behaviors and how...

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow: A Mixed‐method Study on Headhunter‐intermediated Recruitment Practices

Vesa Peltokorpi

British Journal of Management > 34 > 2 > 709 - 726

While organizations increasingly rely on headhunters, little research has focused on what kinds of employees are contacted by headhunters and how these contacts are related to turnover. This study uses an exploratory sequential mixed‐method design to examine what kinds of employees contingency headhunters contact and why some of them leave. Using the case of Japan, where foreign subsidiaries use headhunters...

Time to leave? The interaction of temporal focus and turnover intentions in explaining voluntary turnover behaviour

Vesa Peltokorpi, David G. Allen, Abbie J. Shipp

Applied Psychology > 72 > 1 > 297 - 316

Although turnover intentions are the strongest predictors of voluntary turnover behaviours, many employees who express intentions to leave do not. To explain why some employees translate turnover intentions into behaviour and others do not, this study examines the moderating effect of temporal focus (i.e. the degree to which one thinks about the past, present and future) between turnover intentions...

Reverse Knowledge Flows: How and When Do Preparation and Reintegration Facilitate Repatriate Knowledge Transfer?

Vesa Peltokorpi, Fabian Jintae Froese, B. Sebastian Reiche, Sebastian Klar

Journal of Management Studies > 59 > 7 > 1869 - 1893

This paper applies a generalized exchange perspective to examine how and when reintegration in headquarters (HQ) facilitates repatriate knowledge transfer (RKT). Specifically, we theorize how the preparatory stage for repatriation – when expatriates are still abroad – enhances reintegration in HQ upon repatriation and subsequently RKT via interpersonal and career‐related pathways. For the former,...

In search of ‘low‐hanging fruits’ or ‘ideal’ candidates? Understanding headhunters' candidate search activities

Vesa Peltokorpi

Human Resource Management Journal > 31 > 3 > 639 - 657

Drawing on theory and research on labour market intermediaries, we interviewed 51 contingency headhunters specialised in foreign subsidiaries in Japan to explore how they search host country national candidates and what factors influence their search activities. The findings suggest that headhunters search candidates through cold calls, personal and shared databases, online job boards and social network...

The moderating effect of core self‐evaluations between the relationships of work–family conflict and voluntary turnover, job promotions and physical health

Vesa Peltokorpi, Jesse Michel

Stress and Health > 37 > 1 > 162 - 174

Despite strong evidence that individuals process stressor‐strain relationships differently, little attention in work–family conflict research has been given to moderating effects of core self‐evaluations (CSE). Integrating conservation of resources theory with work–family conflict and CSE research, we predicted that CSE has moderating effects between the relationships of work‐to‐family conflict (WFC)...

Foreign and domestic company attractiveness to host national employees in Japan: A person–organization fit and image theory perspective

Vesa Peltokorpi, Anna K. Bader, Fabian J. Froese

International Journal of Selection and Assessment > 27 > 4 > 392 - 405

This study contributes to research on organizational attractiveness and human resource management (HRM) by drawing on image theory to examine the effect of organizational characteristics (foreign vs. domestic company country‐of‐origin, HRM practices, organizational culture, and work environment) on organizational attractiveness perceptions by host country national (HCN) employees. Drawing on person–organization...

Communication in Theory and Research on Transactive Memory Systems: A Literature Review

Vesa Peltokorpi, Anthony C. Hood

Topics in Cognitive Science > 11 > 4 > 644 - 667

Transactive memory systems (TMS) theory has attracted considerable attention in the scholarly fields of cognitive, organizational, and social psychology; communication; information science; and management. A central theme underlying and connecting these scholarly fields has been the role of interpersonal communication in explaining how members of dyads, groups, and teams learn “who knows what,” specialize...

Merit‐based Rewards, Job Satisfaction and Voluntary Turnover: Moderating Effects of Employee Demographic Characteristics

Fabian Jintae Froese, Vesa Peltokorpi, Arup Varma, Azusa Hitotsuyanagi‐Hansel

British Journal of Management > 30 > 3 > 610 - 623

This paper draws on the reflection theory of compensation (Thierry, H. (1998). ‘Compensating work’. in P. J. D. Drenth, H. Thierry and C. J. de Wolff (eds), Handbook of Work and Organizational Psychology, 2nd edn, pp. 291–315, Psychology Press: Hove; Thierry, H. F. (2001). ‘Job evaluation systems and pay grade structures: do they match’, International Journal of Human Resource Management, 8, pp. 1313–1324)...

Corporate language proficiency in reverse knowledge transfer: A moderated mediation model of shared vision and communication frequency

Vesa Peltokorpi, Sachiko Yamao

Journal of World Business > 2017 > 52 > 3 > 404-416

In this paper, we developed and tested a moderated mediation model of interunit relational characteristics in reverse knowledge transfer. Specifically, by integrating international business research with social identity theory, we hypothesized that shared vision mediates the positive effect between host country national employees’ corporate language proficiency and reverse knowledge transfer. Furthermore,...

Absorptive capacity in foreign subsidiaries: The effects of language-sensitive recruitment, language training, and interunit knowledge transfer

Vesa Peltokorpi

International Business Review > 2017 > 26 > 1 > 119-129

Are multinational corporations able to enhance the development of absorptive capacity in foreign subsidiaries through language-oriented human resource management (HRM) practices? Taking into account that a shared language enhances absorptive capacity and that many multinational corporations are multilingual entities, this question is relevant but given little focused attention in international business...

Recruitment source practices in foreign and local firms: a comparative study in Japan

Vesa Peltokorpi, Fabian Jintae Froese

Asia Pacific Journal of Human Resources > 54 > 4 > 421 - 444

While an important human resource management (HRM) function, little is known about the differences in recruitment source practices in foreign and local firms. Research on recruitment source practices is also important due to the potential HRM differences between foreign and local firms. To partially bridge this research gap, we conducted two studies to examine differences in recruitment source practices...

Transactive memory systems in research team innovation: A moderated mediation analysis

Vesa Peltokorpi, Mervi Hasu

Journal of Engineering and Technology Management > 2016 > 39 > C > 1-12

While transactive memory systems (TMS) have conceptually been linked to team innovation, empirical support is still scarce. This study, by integrating team innovation and TMS research, provides a moderated mediation model with a set of hypotheses that link task orientation, TMS, and transformational leadership on innovation in research teams. Data were derived from 124 research teams in Finland. Hierarchical...

Foreign subsidiary top manager nationality and language policy: The moderating effects of subsidiary age and size

Vesa Peltokorpi

International Business Review > 2015 > 24 > 5 > 739-748

Despite their alleged communication, control, coordination, and learning-related benefits, little is known of factors that affect language policies in multinational corporations (MNCs). In this paper, I draw on agency theory to focus on the effect of MNC subsidiary top manager nationality on subsidiary language policy. Specifically, I hypothesize that subsidiaries with expatriate top managers have...

Moderating effects of transformational leadership between external team learning and research team performance outcomes

Vesa Peltokorpi, Mervi Hasu

R&D Management > 45 > 3 > 304 - 316

A growing body of empirical research examines the effects of external team learning on team performance. While previous studies suggest that external learning activities enhance team performance, the contingencies of such activities have received less research attention. This study examines the moderating effects of transformational team leadership between external team learning and two team performance...

Corporate Language Proficiency and Reverse Knowledge Transfer in Multinational Corporations: Interactive Effects of Communication Media Richness and Commitment to Headquarters

Vesa Peltokorpi

Journal of International Management > 2015 > 21 > 1 > 49-62

While corporate language proficiency provides the ability for employees in foreign subsidiaries to transfer knowledge to headquarters (HQ) in multinational corporations, this topic has received relatively little attention in international management research. In this paper, I link host country national (HCN) employee corporate language proficiency to reverse knowledge transfer. In addition to its...

Organizational embeddedness, turnover intentions, and voluntary turnover: The moderating effects of employee demographic characteristics and value orientations

Vesa Peltokorpi, David G. Allen, Fabian Froese

Journal of Organizational Behavior > 36 > 2 > 292 - 312

To explain why some employees who experience high embeddedness contemplate leaving their organizations and others do not, we examined the moderating effects of employee demographic characteristics (age and gender) and value orientations (individualism and risk aversion) between organizational embeddedness and turnover intentions. Turnover intentions were further expected to increase voluntary turnover...

Expatriate personality and cultural fit: The moderating role of host country context on job satisfaction

Vesa Peltokorpi, Fabian Froese

International Business Review > 2014 > 23 > 1 > 293-302

This study draws on the cultural fit hypothesis to examine interactive effects of host country context and four (Multicultural Personality Questionnaire) expatriate personality traits – Cultural Empathy, Social Initiative, Emotional Stability, and Open Mindedness – on job satisfaction. The cultural fit hypothesis maintains that it is not only the expatriate personality traits per se, but the cultural...
