This systematic literature review explores the relationship between organizational fit, community fit, employee resignation intention, and how these factors affect employee mobility in a globally competitive environment. Analysis of literature published over the past 20 years highlights the critical role of effective organizational and community alignment in reducing employees' intentions to resign. The study underscores the importance of profoundly understanding employees' resignation intentions and the underlying work embedment as a strategic approach to mitigate employee turnover. The labor market changes induced by the COVID-19 pandemic further emphasize the significance of these factors. This research offers strategic recommendations for enhancing organizational and community alignment to optimize human resource management and improve employee satisfaction.
