The Power of Momentum: A New Model of Dynamic Relationships between Job Satisfaction Change and Turnover Intentions
研究提出工作满意度随时间系统改善或下降（即变化动量）能解释绝对水平无法说明的离职意向变化，未来工作期望起部分中介作用，组织任期调节这一关系。
This study offers a new theoretical perspective on the unique nature and function of job satisfaction change, or systematic improvement or decline in job satisfaction over time. Using four diverse samples, we show that differences in the extent to which job satisfaction systematically improves or declines account for change in employees' “turnover intentions” left unexplained by absolute (average) levels of job satisfaction. Further, we show that future-oriented work expectations partially mediate this relationship, and organizational tenure moderates the relationship between job satisfaction change and future-oriented work expectations. These findings provide new insights into the dynamic processes leading to turnover decisions.
