“…Zeffane (1994) defined the turnover intention as the employee desire, either voluntary or involuntary due to the surrounding environment, to stop working in a place and to switch his job to another place. Grohnert et al (2021), using 96 professional auditors over a five-year period, evaluated how organizational, social interaction and individual drivers of workplace learning relate to turnover behavior. The study’s survival analysis shows that auditors who work in an environment that fosters learning are less likely to leave their companies or professions.…”

Purpose This paper aims to examine the effect of the auditors’ burnout determinates on audit quality and performance. It also analyses whether the demographic characteristics of gender, age group, education and job positions affect auditors’ decisions for burnout, audit quality and performance. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire was distributed on a sample of auditors in the top ten auditing firms in an emerging market including the Big 4. Factor analysis, correlation matrix and structural equation modeling were used for the analysis of the collected data and testing the developed hypotheses. Findings The results show that burnout has negative consequences for both the auditor and the auditing firm. While good organizational climate has a negative significant association with audit quality, nonethical decisions and audit performance, role clarity has positive significant association with the audit quality and performance and has an insignificant association with nonethical decisions. Also, turnover intention has significant positive association with nonethical decision, audit quality and performance. Originality/value This research is among the first to focus on auditor’s burnout determinates on audit quality and performance in an emerging market characterized by different socioeconomic, political and cultural factors compared with those of developed markets. Auditors, regulators and professional policymakers can benefit from the results of this research.

“…Survival analysis has been frequently used in the medical field but relatively less in HR. Recently, Grohnert et al (2021) performed a continuous-time survival analysis in HRM, but their methods were not suitable for analyzing discrete-time data. Unlike in the medical field, where a patient's condition data can be collected in real-time, HR events are frequently recorded in monthly, quarterly, or half of a year increments.…”

PurposeThe high turnover of new graduate employees has become a concern for many organizations in Korea. This study explores when new graduate employees leave first jobs and what makes these employees decide to leave employees' organizations.Design/methodology/approachUsing national panel data from South Korea, the authors employed a survival analysis and examined the factors that explain the turnover of new graduate employees.FindingsThe findings of this study reveal that many new graduate employees leave the employees' organizations within two years. Moreover, work conditions, work satisfaction and job-skill match were associated with new graduate employee turnover.Originality/valueBased on the results of survival analysis derived from actual turnover data, not turnover intentions, the authors emphasize appropriate human resources (HR) intervention, a working environment and organizational culture, and employee development opportunities.

“…The surge of digitalization and internet infrastructure has brought a host of changes to organizational operations worldwide (Colbert et al , 2016; Harteis, 2018). One area of particular interest to management and human resource development scholars has been workplace learning (Grohnert et al , 2021; Zhan et al , 2018). Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, workplace learning has shifted to more online and informal learning to accommodate social distancing constraints and new remote working policies (Watkins and Marsick, 2021).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to understand the scope and nature of information sharing as a form of workplace learning among gig workers. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from public social media communities of gig workers in Thailand. In total, 338 posts and 3,022 comments on the posts were analyzed (data corpus N = 3,360). Thailand was selected for the context of this study given its high level of social media penetration, a high percentage of digital service consumption of internet users and the prevalence of app-based gig workers. This study used thematic analysis using inductive and semantic coding to generate themes. Findings Findings showed two overarching themes of information sharing, which included on-the-job experience and inquiries. One surprising finding was the extent to which gig workers used social media to help others even when it potentially undermined their success. Research limitations/implications This study adds evidence to the role of information sharing in workplace learning and illustrates how gig workers who do not have access to traditional training and learning opportunities use social media communities to fill this need. Originality/value Given the surge of digitalization and internet infrastructure leading to the rise of gig work worldwide, this study provides a closer look at how gig workers are using social media communities to facilitate workplace learning and support one another amid otherwise difficult and insecure working conditions. It also discusses the role that culture plays in facilitating a cooperative rather than a competitive environment among drivers.
