An analysis of job dissatisfaction and turnover to reduce global supply chain risk: Evidence from China
研究中国沿海工业区供应商的高离职率问题,通过定量方法分析工人离职原因,帮助管理者应对与劳动力相关的供应链风险。
Abstract Suppliers’ labor problems in developing countries have emerged as a key risk in global supply chains. In China's coastal industrial zones, where most Fortune 500 companies have established their manufacturing bases, local suppliers are facing serious labor turnover problems. High labor turnover rates have caused poor quality, low productivity, and unfilled orders in supply chains. Applying a combination of quantitative techniques to determine the reasons why workers leave China's export factories, this research tries to identify the root causes of job dissatisfaction leading to turnover and provides managerial implications that may assist managers in dealing with labor‐related supply chain risks.
