Sumario:

Este estudio analiza el impacto de la empleabilidad interna percibida como un medio para retener empleados poseedores de capital humano valioso para la empresa. Se utilizan las percepciones de los empleados puesto que son estas las que determinan las actitudes y por lo tanto las predisposiciones para actuar, así como los comportamientos individuales adoptados. La satisfacción laboral y el compromiso organizativo se proponen como variables mediadoras de dicha relación, pues se han manifestado como determinantes en la literatura a la hora de explicar el comportamiento de los empleados. Como variable dependiente se utiliza la intención de renunciar al trabajo dado que es muy complejo analizar la rotación efectiva de los empleados,...

Este estudio analiza el impacto de la empleabilidad interna percibida como un medio para retener empleados poseedores de capital humano valioso para la empresa. Se utilizan las percepciones de los empleados puesto que son estas las que determinan las actitudes y por lo tanto las predisposiciones para actuar, así como los comportamientos individuales adoptados. La satisfacción laboral y el compromiso organizativo se proponen como variables mediadoras de dicha relación, pues se han manifestado como determinantes en la literatura a la hora de explicar el comportamiento de los empleados. Como variable dependiente se utiliza la intención de renunciar al trabajo dado que es muy complejo analizar la rotación efectiva de los empleados, la cual depende en gran medida de las oportunidades que ofrece el mercado laboral. El análisis se lleva a cabo a través de ecuaciones estructurales en una muestra de 218 empleados. Los resultados muestran que la empleabilidad interna sí tiene un efecto positivo en una dimensión afectiva combinada del trabajo, así como esta última dimensión impacta negativamente en la intención de los empleados de renunciar a su trabajo.

internal employability, intention to resign from work, job satisfaction, organizational commitment.
This study analyzes the impact of perceived internal employability as a means to retain employees who possess human capital valuable for the company. Employees’ perceptions are used since these are the ones which determine attitudes and, therefore, predispositions to act, as well as adopted individual behaviors. Job satisfaction and organizational commitment are proposed as mediating variables in such relationship, since they have been mentioned in the literature as determinants when explaining employee behavior. Intention to quit job is used as dependent variable insofar as it is very complex to analyze effective employee turnover, which depends to a great extent on the opportunities offered by the labor market. The analysis is carried out throughstructural equations in a sample of 218 employees. The results show that internal employability does have a positive effect in a combined affective dimension of the job, and that this dimension has a negative impact on employees’ intention to quit their jobs.

description Este estudio analiza el impacto de la empleabilidad interna percibida como un medio para retener empleados poseedores de capital humano valioso para la empresa. Se utilizan las percepciones de los empleados puesto que son estas las que determinan las actitudes y por lo tanto las predisposiciones para actuar, así como los comportamientos individuales adoptados. La satisfacción laboral y el compromiso organizativo se proponen como variables mediadoras de dicha relación, pues se han manifestado como determinantes en la literatura a la hora de explicar el comportamiento de los empleados.&amp;nbsp;Como variable dependiente se utiliza la intención de renunciar al trabajo dado que es muy complejo analizar la rotación efectiva de los empleados, la cual depende en gran medida de las oportunidades que ofrece el mercado laboral. El análisis se lleva a cabo a través de ecuaciones estructurales en una muestra de 218 empleados. Los resultados muestran que la empleabilidad interna sí tiene un efecto positivo en una dimensión afectiva combinada del trabajo, así como esta última dimensión impacta negativamente en la intención de los empleados de renunciar a su trabajo.
description_eng This study analyzes the impact of perceived internal employability as a means to retain employees who possess human capital valuable for the company. Employees’ perceptions are used since these are the ones which determine attitudes and, therefore, predispositions to act, as well as adopted individual behaviors. Job satisfaction and organizational commitment are proposed as mediating variables in such relationship, since they have been mentioned in the literature as determinants when explaining employee behavior. Intention to quit job is used as dependent variable insofar as it is very complex to analyze effective employee turnover, which depends to a great extent on the opportunities offered by the labor market. The analysis is carried out throughstructural equations in a sample of 218 employees. The results show that internal employability does have a positive effect in a combined affective dimension of the job, and that this dimension has a negative impact on employees’ intention to quit their jobs.
