Who leaves, where to, and why worry? employee mobility, entrepreneurship and effects on source firm performance
利用美国人口普查局法律服务行业的员工-雇主关联数据，研究发现高收入员工更可能创业而非跳槽，且员工创业对源企业绩效的负面影响大于跳槽，建议管理者调整薪酬以减少高绩效员工创业的冲击。
Abstract We theorize that the value provided by the firm's complementary assets has important implications for the exit decisions of employees and their subsequent effects on the firm's performance. Using linked employee‐employer data from the U.S. Census Bureau on legal services, we find that employees with higher earnings are less likely to leave relative to employees with lower earnings, but if they do, are more likely to create a new venture than join another firm. Employee entrepreneurship has a larger adverse impact on source firm performance than moves to established firms, even controlling for observable employee quality. Our findings suggest that in knowledge intensive settings, managers should focus on tailoring compensation packages to help minimize the adverse impact of employee entrepreneurship, particularly among high performing individuals.
