THE MEDIATING ROLE OF WORK ENGAGEMENT IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE AND JUNIOR ACCOUNTANTS TURNOVER INTENTIONS
This study examined work engagement as a mediator of the relationship between
organizational justice (distributive and procedural) and junior accountants? turnover intentions.
A random sampling method was employed in obtaining 83 samples (N=83) comprising of junior
accountants from Jordanian public accounting firms. The analysis outcomes demonstrate the
partial mediation of work engagement on the relationship between organizational justice and
turnover intention. The study specifically discovered that distributive justice is positively linked
with work engagement while negatively linked with turnover intention. Additionally, procedural
justice is strongly and positively linked with work engagement but with turnover intention, the
relationship is negative. A comprehensive model was introduced in this study and was validated
in the context of Jordan. The outcomes suggest future investigation on practicable intervention
strategies for reducing turnover intentions amongst junior accountants to prevent potential
negative consequences to the firms.
