Abstract
Job embeddedness designates the manner to which employees of an organization can reduce turnover intention
and sustain in their jobs. The leading aim of this paper is to the development of a Job Embeddedness scale and its
validation process. The paradigm of the study was positivism and a quantitative methodology was used. Through
a multistage sampling technique, 426 college teachers from the public and private colleges of Punjab were the
sample of the study. Factor Analysis of Job embeddedness showed three factors namely; Fit, Link and Scarifies
were found to have acceptable psychometric properties. The results showed that expert validity was good,
construct validity (.89), discriminant validity (.97), convergent validity (.94) and reliability (.91) were excellent.
The model was a good fit after factor analysis was declaring a good fit value. However, some items had a low
consistency which required supplementary research. The results were discussed in terms of job embeddedness,
the gender and sector difference in a cultural context.
