This chapter indicates the advanced issues of employee turnover intention; employee turnover intention, job satisfaction, and Human Resource Information System (HRIS); employee turnover intention and job burnout; employee turnover intention and mobbing; employee turnover intention, psychological capital, and work-family conflict; employee turnover intention and job engagement; and employee turnover intention in the health care industry. Turnover intention is a measurement of whether the organization's employees plan to leave their positions or whether that organization plans to remove employees from positions. Employee turnover is a natural part of business in any industry. Replacing employees can affect the organization's productivity, expenses, and overall performance. Understanding the effects of losing a high number of employees serves as a motivator to work toward reducing the employee turnover rate for the higher profits in the modern workforce.
TopBackground
Employee turnover intention refers to the possibility of employees leaving their job and organization on their own will (Kuvaas, 2006) within a specified time period (Jaramillo, Mulki, & Boles, 2013) and obstructs the delivery of services (Waldman, Kelly, Arora, & Smith, 2004) as the remaining employees struggle to provide high-quality services when untrained employees replace previous experienced colleagues (Powell & York, 1992) toward negatively affecting consumers’ progress (Hurt, Grist, Malesky, & McCord, 2013) and family life (Grindle, Kovshoff, Hastings, & Remington, 2009).
When employees leave their jobs, they take with them critical knowledge acquired over time about the work position, the agency, and the consumers (Harris, Kacmar, & Witt, 2005). Employee turnover rates reduce the remaining employees’ morale (Byrd, Cochran, Silverman, & Blount, 2000), increase the workload of the remaining staff, and discourage eligible individuals from applying to open positions (Lambert, 2006) and are much higher for the poorly socialized employees suggesting there is a self-corrective effect in which uncommitted employees are more likely to leave their organizations (Somers, 2010).
