Includes bibliographical references (pages 401-403).

The current study employs the conservation of resources theory to examine the mediating effect of job satisfaction and the moderating effect of perceptions of organizational politics on the relationship between organizational embeddedness and life satisfaction. Data were conveniently collected from 274 frontline employees in 4- and 5-star hotels at two different times. Hypotheses were tested using PROCESS macro. Results demonstrated that perceptions of organizational politics moderated the organizational embeddedness‒life satisfaction relationship. Moreover, job satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between organizational embeddedness and life satisfaction. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
