Turnover Contagion: How Coworkers' Job Embeddedness and Job Search Behaviors Influence Quitting
研究通过多层级分析发现，同事的工作嵌入程度和求职行为能显著预测员工离职，且这种影响超过其他个人和团队因素，揭示了离职行为的传染机制。
This research developed and tested a model of turnover contagion in which the job embeddedness and job search behaviors of coworkers influence employees' decisions to quit. In a sample of 45 branches of a regional bank and 1,038 departments of a national hospitality firm, multilevel analysis revealed that coworkers' job embedded-ness and job search behaviors explain variance in individual “voluntary turnover” over and above that explained by other individual and group-level predictors. Broadly speaking, these results suggest that coworkers' job embeddedness and job search behaviors play critical roles in explaining why people quit their jobs. Implications are discussed.
