A Partial Replication and Extension of the Mobley, Horner, and Hollingsworth Model of Employee Turnover

Résumé du livre

A partial replication of Mobley, Horner, and Hollingsworth's turnover model was undertaken with a sample of classified university employees. Intermediate linkages of the employee withdrawal decision process studied were job satisfaction, age, tenure, perception of job opportunities, thoughts of quitting, and intention to search. Results were substantially in agreement with that of Mobley, Horner and Hollingsworth (1978). Extension of the turnover model was undertaken by measuring two linkages in the employee withdrawal decision suggested by Mobley (1977): extent of employee search for alternatives and results of employee search for alternatives. Results of the extension indicated that the two additional intermediate linkages did not fully integrate into the model as hypothesized by Mobley (1977). (Author).
