Abstract Second-generation migrant workers in China frequently change jobs, which even becomes a trend of being temporary workers. This not only reduces migrant workers’ employment quality and their career development, but also hinders the normal order of enterprises’ production and employment system. By collecting data from self-administered questionnaire, this study examines the impact of perceived organizational support (POS) on turnover intention of migrant workers, and explores the potential path of influence. The empirical results indicate that (1) the turnover intention of migrant workers is negatively related to their POS; (2) both organizational justice and identity play a significant intermediary role on the relationship between POS and turnover intention, and (3) introducing organizational justice and identity into the mediating effect model, these two factors explain the vast majority variation of second-generation migrant workers’ turnover intention. This research deepens and expands theoretical understanding on the job hopping phenomenon of second-generation migrant workers, and also contributes to the literature in the field of POS and Identity.
