Abstract: Purpose - This study aims to examine the role of ta’awun in reducing voluntary turnover intention. The authors defined ta’awun as the willingness to help colleagues without being asked and expecting rewards as promised by Islam. Also, the antecedent variables of organizational identification and job embeddedness are used to predict ta’awun. Design/methodology/approach - This study used 216 respondents from Islamic Universities in Indonesia. Structural equation model was used to analyze data and test the empirical model. Findings - Job embeddedness and organizational identification can improve ta’awun behavior. Ta’awun behavior has also been proven to be able to reduce voluntary turnover intention as well as successfully mediating the relationship between job embeddedness and organizational identification with voluntary turnover intention. Research limitations/implications - Ta’awun enriches organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) studies which are intervened with Islamic values. The questionnaire given to respondents are very susceptible for self-response bias so that this type of bias influences the conclusion. Thus, consistency of results can be retested in several different objects. Practical implications - Organizations need to consider the factor of religiosity when recruiting employees. HRM practices need to be encouraged to create organizational identification through pride in the organization to reduce voluntary turnover intention through ta’awun behavior. Originality/value - The Ta’awun concept is a refinement of the previously existing concept, which is OCB. Orientation in the world and the hereafter that underlies this ta’awun behavior is more effective in reducing the intention of voluntary displacement.
