Abstract
This study aims to interpret why organizational change collectively influences employees’ intention to remain in the semiconductor industry around the Yangtze River Delta, China. The mediating roles of organizational change cognition and an investigation of trust in this relationship were implemented with a focus on organizational change cognition, trust, and cynicism. This research utilized data from 405 full-time employees, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) via AMOS confirmed a strong model fit, thereby establishing the reliability and validity of the measures.
The findings indicate that individual learning capability is significantly associated with employees’ intention to remain, both directly and indirectly, mediated by change cognition and organizational trust. Additionally, the interplay among learning capability, confidence, and cynicism collectively affect employees’ intention to remain. In contrast, change cognition does not correlate significantly with intention to remain.
Organizations can mitigate cynicism toward change and improve talent retention by leveraging individual learning capabilities and cultivating trust. The results offer strategic insights for managing organizational change within the Yangtze River Delta’s semiconductor industry.
