Recent research suggests that the turnover process is not fully captured by the traditional sequential model relating job dissatisfaction to subsequent turnover. The present study contributes to this research by modeling within-individual job satisfaction as a function of job change patterns to determine if individual work attitudes change systematically with the temporal turnover process. Specifically, the authors hypothesized that low satisfaction would precede a voluntary job change, with an increase in job satisfaction immediately following a job change (the honeymoon effect), followed by a decline in job satisfaction (the hangover effect). Though this pattern is suggested in the literature, no prior research has integrated and tested this complete temporal model within individuals. Findings based on a sample of managers supported the proposed honeymoon-hangover effect.

An effective Poisson's ratio is introduced for anisotropic materials as the negative ratio of transverse and longitudinal strains averaged over all transverse directions. It is shown that for certain orientations of the applied force this effective Poisson's ratio assumes negative values for a-quartz. This implies that such a bar increases its cross section under length extension.
