THE analysis is predominantly undertaken within the framework of the theoretical model of March and Simon [I]; additional factors being inserted where necessary. March and Simon discuss the factors affecting labour turnover in terms of the influences affecting two components: (a) the perceived desirability or undesirability of leaving the employer; and (b) the perceived ease or difficulty of movement from the employer [I, pp. 93-1061. A11 the factors discussed by March and Simon have been extracted from the text and are shown in diagrammatic form in Figures I and 2 along with several additional factors. The procedure adopted in the analysis is as follows: (I) to state March and Simon's hypotheses with regard to specific factors affecting labour turnover; ( 2 ) to discuss these hypotheses in the light of relevant research studies; (3) to discuss further variables omitted by March and Simon in the light of relevant research studies; and (4) to discuss the limitations of many of the studies discussed. I THE PERCEIVED DESIRABILITY OF MOVE-MENTTwo major variables are associated with the perceived desirability of movement, namely, satisfaction with the job and the perceived possibility of intraorganizational transfer.
