Aspects of March and Simon’s (1958) subjective expected utility model and a prediction of Lee and Mitchell’s (1994) unfolding model of voluntary employee turnover were tested. A policy capturing simulation that varied high, moderate, and low levels of five job characteristics was used to model voluntary turnover decision processes for 532 nurses. Survey measures of these job characteristics obt...

Recent research on job embeddedness has found that both on- and off-the-job forces can act to bind people to their jobs.

Organizations are increasingly recognizing their workers as valuable resources. Therefore, workforce planning and policies that minimize the voluntary turnover of IT professionals are important. Using cognitive dissonance theory as a theoretical foundation, we propose and test research hypotheses that combine traditional voluntary turnover constructs with constructs of interest to the IT profes...

Based on the framework of the unfolding model of turnover, effects of job satisfaction on different turnover paths. Using a large national sample analysis, this study found evidence that the level of job satisfaction was differentially predictive of voluntary turnover in different turnover paths. For example, job satisfaction was not a good predictor of turnover due to family management policie...

The investigation of job insecurity has been a growing field of research. However, little is known about the strategies employees adopt to reduce job insecurity. Former research has shown that employees who perceive high job insecurity tend to engage in voluntary turnover. Yet, we do not know whether such a strategy is successful in reducing perceived job insecurity. Based on the Swiss Househol...
