Abstract Based on organization attachment theory and image theory, we explore the mediating role of job embeddedness in the OECVT relationship and the moderating effect of selfefficacy on the relationship between job embeddedness and voluntary turnover. Hierarchical regression analyses of a sample of 344 employees show that: 1) rules ethical climate relates negatively to voluntary turnover, and job embeddedness partly mediates the relationship between rules ethical climate and voluntary turnover; 2) caring ethical climate relates positively to job embeddedness; 3) instrumental ethical climate relates negatively to job embeddedness; 4) selfefficacy moderates the relationship between job embeddedness and voluntary turnover such that job embedddeness has a weaker negatively effect on voluntary turnover for high selfefficacy than low individuals. Managerial implications and limitations of this study are discussed.
