The population of this study was the branch staff of one of the private banks in Tehran. Sampling method was random clustering and standard questionnaires were used for data collection. The data were analyzed by structural equation modeling using Smart PLS3.2.6 software. The findings showed that perceived organizational support had a positive and significant effect on organizational identification. In addition, job embeddedness played a partial moderating role in the relationship between perceived organizational support and organizational identification. That is, increasing links and fit as the two dimensions of job embeddedness, resulted in improving the relationship between the two variables, but the sacrifice dimension had no significant moderating role. Analyzing and theoretical and practical suggestions that will be of great help to policymakers and practitioners in the field of human resources management are presented at the end of the article.
