Abstract	Drawing from the concept of work-life balance, the author used the concept of the spillover effect to theorize the mediating role of work adjustment in the mechanism from homesickness to job satisfaction and turnover intentions. Using a sample of 307 migrant workers in a manufacturing firm in China, the author found that migrant workers' homesickness was negatively related to job satisfaction and positively related to turnover intentions. Meanwhile, work adjustment mediated the relationship between homesickness and job satisfaction but did not mediate the relationship between homesickness and turnover intention. Moreover, theoretical and managerial implications were discussed in a migration study context.
