The Effect of Work Community on Job Transfer Intention: The Mediation Effect of Regulatory Failure and Job Burnout by Kittichokwattana, Patipat, Harun, Azhar, Mohd. Zain, Zawiyah

“…In addition, promotion failure involves the absence of positive outcomes that increases the likelihood of disengagement and seek for an alternative that fulfills hopes and aspirations, whereas prevention failure relates to the presence of negative outcomes which motivate one to strengthen responsibilities and obligations to avoid the further loss resulting in low disengagement. The finding provides a better understanding of the underlying psychological mechanism between the regulatory focus and work well-being…”
