The professional staff had average level of the 6 sub-factors of job embeddedness as Fit to community, followed by Fit to organization, Community-related sacrifice, Links to organization, Organization-related sacrifice and Links to community, respectively. As for practitioner staff, they had average level of the 6 sub-factors of job embeddedness as Fit to community, followed by Fit to organization, Links to organization, Community-related sacrifice, Organization-related sacrifice, and Links to community, respectively.
