What drives performance while being far away from home? An examination of leader-member exchange (LMX) ambivalence, job embeddedness, trust, and perceived organisation support of Thai seafarers

Artikel

This study investigates the determinants of performance among Thai seafarers working away from their homes using regression and moderated-mediation analyses. We examined the influence of leader-member exchange (LMX) ambivalence, job embeddedness, trust, and perceived organisational support (POS) on seafarers' performance. Using a survey questionnaire, data were collected from 175 Thai seafarers. Results suggest that LMX ambivalence is a better predictor of performance than traditional LMX. Further, the moderated-mediation analysis reveal that trust and job embeddedness significantly contribute to enhanced performance, whereas the effects of LMX ambivalence and perceived organisational support demonstrate unexpected patterns. Moreover, the moderated-mediation analysis sheds light on the interplay between these factors, providing valuable insights into their combined impact on seafarers' performance. Our findings emphasise the critical importance of trust-building initiatives and job embeddedness programs in optimising seafarers' contributions to the maritime sector.
