The unfolding model of voluntary turnover: a replication and extension

Article Abstract:

A study aimed at extending and replicating the unfolding voluntary turnover model developed in 1994 was conducted. The model is a description of the psychological path that employees take when quitting from an organization. The study was able to identify the ambiguities in the earlier model and put forward a number of hypotheses aimed at solving those ambiguities. The hypotheses were successfully tested on a 229-member sample of former employees from the top six public accounting firms in the US.

Job embeddedness can predict key outcomes both of intent to leave and voluntary turnovers.

Regression analyses revealed that off-the-job embeddedness was significantly predictive of subsequent 'voluntary turnover' and volitional absences, whereas on-the-job embeddedness was not.
