Abstract
This study explores how managers and professionals become embedded in their organisation and community. In particular we investigate the mediating effects feelings of well-being and sacrifice between the links and fit dimensions of job embeddedness and employee turnover intentions. Hypotheses are tested using data from 296 professional staff in Malaysia. As predicted, a good match between individuals and their organisation and community increased levels of well-being. However, people became embedded bythe perceived sacrifice to be made in leaving. Organisations hoping to increase organisation embeddedness may experience the greatest success by enhancing fit with the organisation rather than the community to deter intentions of leaving.
