Abstract:
This study uses structural equation modelling to test a model
that posits that commuting stress would have direct and
indirect effects (through burnout) on employee job satisfaction
and turnover intention. Based on a sample (N ¼ 336) of
employees from diverse occupations in Ghana, the results
partly supported the authors’ hypothesized model. Commuting
stress was positively related to burnout and turnover intention
but had no direct relationship with job satisfaction. In addition,
commuting stress was indirectly related to job satisfaction and
turnover intention via burnout. These results were found to be
invariant for men and women. Implications of the findings for
theory and practice are discussed.
