The impact of work‐leisure conflict on turnover intention among kindergarten teachers: A moderated mediation model

This study explored the relationship between work‐leisure conflict and turnover intention among kindergarten teachers, along with the mediating role of subjective well‐being and the moderating role of psychological resilience. We recruited 474 kindergarten teachers, who completed the Work‐Leisure Conflict Scale, the Turnover Intention Scale, the Subjective Well‐Being Scale, and the Psychological Resilience Scale. The results showed significant correlations among work‐leisure conflict, turnover intention, and subjective well‐being. Work‐leisure conflict also significantly and positively predicted turnover intention among kindergarten teachers. Further, work???leisure conflict was found to predict turnover intention through the mediating role of subjective well‐being, and the interaction between subjective well-being and psychological resilience significantly predicted turnover intention. Thus, subjective well‐being partially mediated the relationship between work‐leisure conflict and turnover intention, and psychological resilience moderated the pathway between subjective well‐being and turnover intention. As psychological resilience increased, the negative predictive effect of subjective well‐being on turnover intention weakened.
