Conclusion

To conclude, approaching employer attractiveness from an internal perspective, focusing on current employees, this paper attests to the importance of the social work environment for turnover intentions. Relating the multidimensional construct of participative safety to values as the mechanism that impacts behavioral intent and ultimately behavior, it has shed light on a concept that has long floated at the periphery of turnover research. The results indicated that the perception of a participative safety climate has a negative impact on employees’ turnover intention in the German public sector.
