Abstract

Occupational fatigue and the resulting issues of low efficiency and employee turnover are important factors that constrain the high-quality development of labor-intensive industries. This article takes shoe manufacturing enterprises as the research object, explores the impact and mechanism of occupational fatigue on turnover intention, and provides reference for enterprises to optimize employee management systems. Based on a questionnaire survey of workers in Jiangxi shoe companies, an empirical model was constructed to test the impact of occupational fatigue on turnover intention, and the mediating role of psychological capital and the moderating role of emotional exhaustion were examined. The empirical results indicate that occupational fatigue exacerbates the turnover tendency of workers in shoe companies; Psychological capital plays a mediating role in the relationship between occupational fatigue and turnover intention; Emotional exhaustion can amplify the impact of occupational fatigue on turnover intention. Based on this, it is recommended that shoe-making enterprises establish a comprehensive psychological capital enhancement system and strengthen internal motivation; Optimize work environment and processes to reduce sources of occupational fatigue; Strengthen emotional management and build a positive working atmosphere.
