Abstract

This study aims to understand the influence of employees' perceptions of organizational politics (POP) on organizational silence (OS) and turnover intention (TI) in the foodservice industry and to verify the moderating effects of departments (food & beverage and kitchen) in the relationship among the POP, OS, and TI. Based on a total of 313 useful samples obtained for the empirical research, this study reviewed the reliability and fitness of the research model and verified a total of 2 hypotheses using the AMOS program. The hypothesized relationships in the model were tested simultaneously by using a structural equation model(SEM). The proposed model provided an adequate fit for the data, $x^2=349.889$ (p<0.001), df=100, CMIN/DF=3.499, GFI=0.882, NFI=0.880, CFI=0.911, RMSEA=0.089. The model's fit, as indicated by these indexes, was deemed satisfactory, thus providing a good basis for testing the hypothesized paths. The results of SEM showed that foodservice employees' POP had positive impacts on the defensive silence (DS) and acquiescent silence (AS). In addition, DS and AS had a positive influence on TI. The department (food & beverage and kitchen) was found to have a partial moderating effect in the relationship between POP, OS, and TI. Based on the research findings, we discussed the practical implications and suggestions for the future research.
