Employee Social Sustainability and Intention to Join

The study aims to explore how specific employee-related social sustainability dimensions impact job seekers' intentions to join an organisation, with generational membership as a moderator and person-organisation fit as a mediator. Utilising a quantitative cross-sectional design with 900 Czech respondents across Generations X, Y, and Z, the study identifies Employee Participation and Employee Development as the primary drivers of attraction, mediated by person-organisation fit. Conversely, it was found that dimensions Health and Safety and Equal Opportunities act only as baseline hygiene factors with no significant impact on the final intention to join. Furthermore, contrary to theoretical expectation, the results reveal that generational membership does not moderate the relationship between perceived social sustainability and the intention to join an organisation.
