Answer 1

c. The array of forces attaching people to their jobs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Job embeddedness is a study of employee retention. It focuses on all the forces and factors that retain an employee on the job. The theory identifies critical elements that determine a connection between an employee and their job.

These elements are Fit, Links and Sacrifice.

Fit is how the employee perceives their own compatibility with the job. Links are the number of connections the employee has in the working community. Sacrifice is the loss of potential benefits, in monetary terms or psychological, when the connections with the social community are broken.

Hope that helps.
