First, this study reviews some major methodological issues. Second, using a national sample, this study compares the results from traditional analytical methods such as OLS and logistic regression analyses, and survival analysis. in results across different analytical methods, this study found some evidence supportive of the utility of survival analysis in investigating temporal aspects of turnover abandoning traditional methods, yet, more research comparing results methods needs to be done.
