Structural Equation Model to predict the intention of stay to the local Business Group

Abstract

With the objective of obtaining a predictive model of the intention of stay applicable to the companies subordinated to the the local Business Group in the province of Artemisa, Cuba, the investigation consisted of the application of a questionnaire to 353 workers of 8 companies that were derelict in their corporate purpose. The results obtained support the hypotheses proposed since both the affective organizational commitment, the normative organizational commitment and the organizational commitment of continuity are significantly and positively related to the intention of permanence (r = 0.68, r = 0.55, r = 0.44, with p < 0.01), R2 = 0.552. The AMOS software is used to obtain the measurement model and the structural model as well as for the equations (CMIN/DF = 1.978, CFI = 0.972, SRMR = 0.043, RMSEA = 0.062, PClose = 0.084).
