Abstract
Although work-family conflict (WFC) has been shown to play an important role in turnover intention (TI), little is known about the moderated mediation model of the association between this relationship among special education teachers. The aim of this study is to examine a moderated mediation model to account for the progression from WFC to TI among special education teachers. Five hundred and ten Chinese special education teachers completed measures of WFC,TI, emotional exhaustion (EE) and expression suppression (ES). After controlling gender and age of special education teachers, the results indicated that special education teachers who experienced WFC tended to be TI; Furthermore, this association was mediated by EE, while the path between WFC and EE was moderated by region and the path between EE and TI was moderated by ES. Findings of this study have revealed that interventions and services that help prevent the development of WFC and EE, and improve ES are potentially important to decrease TI among special education teachers.
