Hiring for retention and performance
研究评估了多种招聘前变量对员工自愿离职和工作绩效的预测作用，发现了解在职员工、过去任职长、尽责且情绪稳定、求职动机强、自信的应聘者离职率更低且入职半年内绩效更高，但部分预测效果随时间减弱。
Abstract This study evaluated the usefulness of several pre‐hire variables to predict voluntary turnover and job performance. Analyses showed that applicants who knew current employees, had longer tenure with previous employers, were conscientious and emotionally stable, were motivated to obtain the job, and were confident in themselves and their decision making were less likely to quit, and had higher performance within six months after hire. Results also indicated that pre‐hire attitudes (employment motivation and personal confidence) did not predict turnover and performance beyond biodata (pre‐hire embeddedness in the organization and habitual commitment) and the personality traits (conscientiousness and emotional stability). For all predictors but personality, the strength of the relationships weakened over time up to two years after hire. Nonetheless, organizations can avoid voluntary turnover and increase performance by basing hiring decisions on the set of predictors analyzed in this study. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
