Examining sources of influence on employee turnover in the part‐time work context

Abstract

Extensive research has examined sources of influence on employee turnover in the full-time work context. Far less research attention has been given to addressing sources of influence on turnover in the part-time work scenario. The aim of this study was to examine sources of influence on turnover among part-time employees. Survey data were collected from 412 part-time employees in the military reserves. The results of this study draw attention to a number of important sources of influence on turnover among parttime employees. The findings suggest that the same set of factors that influence turnover among fulltime employees may not equally influence part-time employees.

Antecedents of Job Stress and its impact on employee’s Job Satisfaction and Turnover Intentions

“…According to Barak et al (2001), job satisfaction has been found as the key reason due to which employees leave their jobs. There is a significant negative association between turnover intention and job satisfaction (Chan and Morrison, 2000;Ghiselli et al, 2001;McBey and Karakowsky, 2001). In contrast of the other employment opportunities available, job satisfaction is the good predictor of turnover intention (Purani & Sahadev, 2007;Shields Ward, 2001).…”

“…Previous research results prove that turnover intention is affected by the job stress. Job satisfaction and commitment with organization decreases due to the increase in stress .And if organizational commitment and job satisfaction is low then it will increase the propensity to leave (Hellman, 1997;McBey and Karakowsky, 2001;Ghiselli et al, 2001). Moore, (2002) stated that a factor greatly effects people's intention to leave their jobs which is job satisfaction.…”

Attrition at Work Place: How and Why In Hotel Industry

“…An opportunity for promotion and career development elsewhere also encourages staff to leave their current employment (Iverson and Deery, 2007). According to McBey and Karakowsky (2001), research has largely supported the argument that education is positively related to employee turn-over. It is not unexpected that, in this knowledge-based era, skill and academic upgrades promise an individual a competitive advantage and provide opportunities for promotion.…”

A study on the factors affecting health and economic activities of work environment in manufacturing industry

“…directly relate to the workers and are thus important for preventing industrial accidents. There are also external safety factors unique to the modern society's workplace, such as sleep disturbances due to shift work or night shifts, that result from the increasing number of shift workers in an unstable work environment and in work environments that are characteristic of firms are in today's workplace (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). If these harmful conditions persist at the working environment, Korean society may sustain a loss of workers and corporations, which may further adversely affect its socioeconomic environment.…”
