- Abstract
Turnover in public accounting firms is an issue that has and will continue to impact firm practice greatly. Changes in the work environment due to the pandemic have led to increased issues with retention in public accounting firms. This study is the first to examine the relationship between a full-time professional employee's level of job embeddedness and turnover intentions. A survey was used to gather evidence from full-time accounting professionals working in public accounting firms across the United States. With a sample size of 136 full-time employees, multiple regression was conducted to examine if job embeddedness predicted full-time accounting professionals' turnover (retention) intentions. Results indicated that the higher an employee's level of job embeddedness, the more likely that employee will stay with their current firm.
