Alternative Conceptualizations of the Relationship Between Voluntary Turnover and Organizational Performance
研究提出自愿离职与员工绩效关系的四种预测，发现两者呈负相关但随离职率增加而减弱，且安全与生产力起中介作用。
We propose four alternative predictions regarding the relationship between voluntary turnover and workforce performance and develop the hypothesis that safety and productivity outcomes mediate that relationship. In two intraindustry studies, strong support emerged for curvilinearity: the relationship between voluntary turnover and workforce performance is negative, but it is attenuated as turnover increases. Some modest support for workforce performance as a mediator of the voluntary turnover and financial performance relationship emerged. Implications for organization-level theory and research are addressed.
