Context-Emergent Turnover (CET) Theory: A Theory of Collective Turnover
提出集体离职理论,强调其微观基础起源和单元层面后果,考察集体离职与人力资本资源的动态关系及其对单元绩效的影响,并分析情境(氛围与环境复杂性)和时间的调节作用。
We develop a theory of collective turnover that emphasizes its microfoundation origins and unit-level consequences. Collective turnover is the quantity and quality of depletion of employee knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics (KSAOs) from the unit, meaning that it is the collective loss of unit KSAOs. We ground our theory of collective turnover within the nomological network of human capital resources and resource-based theory. We then use this framework to examine the dynamic relationships between collective turnover and human capital resources and their effects on unit performance. We also describe the moderating impact of context (climate and environmental complexity) and time. Thus, we present context-emergent turnover (CET) theory.
