Abstract :The study attempts to investigate how perceived organizational support mediates the relationship between perceived psychological contract, work embeddedness, and abusive management. Data for the study—which is based on the theories of social exchange and resource conservation—was gathered from Istanbul-based airlines that provide transportation services. The study\'s sample consisted of 294 individuals. The bootstrap approach and the structural equation model-Amos were used to test the research\'s hypotheses. Results showed that perceived organizational support mediates the association between perceived psychological contract and work embedding and abusive management. The results also offer a thorough evaluation of how psychological contract perception and abusive management improve job embedding through higher perceived organizational support. This study on airline workers in Turkey is significant because it is the first to address the negative effects of abusive management, the benefits of employees\' psychological connections to their workplaces, and the positive effects of employees\' perceptions of organizational support on their job embeddedness.
