LAUSR

We model the relationship between corruption perceived by Romanian employees and their intention to leave the country. This research, based on a survey of 911 Romanian employees, connects migration with corruption. We construct a model that explains employees’ intention to migrate based on corruption that they perceive at the country level and multiple organizational variables, such as career satisfaction, observed organizational misconduct, turnover intention, and perceived organizational corruption. Tests of the model show that Romanian employees who perceive a high level of corruption in the country, have a low level of career satisfaction, and want to find another job are disposed toward migration rather than finding another job in Romania.
