Background: The Price-Mueller model and the Job Demands-Resources model examine how organizational working conditions influence turnover intention through the mediating mechanisms of subjective experiences, such as job satisfaction and burnout. Methods: To address the specific needs of indigenization and professionalization, we constructed a model incorporating "job embeddedness" based on existing models to better predict Chinese social works' turnover intention. This study used Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the proposed model. Result: The model showed good fit indices. organizational working conditions significantly influenced turnover intention. The mediating effects of job embeddedness and job satisfaction were significant across most pathways. Job embeddedness demonsrated the strongest explanatory power for turnover intention within the mode. Conclusions: Strategies for reducing social workers' turnover intention should not only consider the job satisfaction pathway but, more importantly, prioritize the stronger mediating mechanism of job embeddedness linking organizational working conditions to turnover.
