Title:	UNDERSTANDING VOLUNTARY TURNOVER: PATH-SPECIFIC JOB SATISFACTION EFFECTS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF UNSOLICITED JOB OFFERS
Authors:	Tae Heon Lee, Barry Gerhart, Ingo Weller, Charlie Trevor
Abstract:	In response to traditional approaches’ limited success in explaining voluntary turnover, we explore a paradigmatic shift in turnover research. Using a large national sample (NLSY79), we find that voluntary turnover can be more successfully modeled by recognizing that job (dis)satisfaction and ease of movement importance depends on the group of leavers being studied. For example, ongoing job satisfaction had smaller effects for turnover driven by certain shocks (unsolicited job offers and family-related reasons), which accounted for 40 percent of all quits. Moreover, the prevalence of unsolicited job offers may necessitate rethinking the role of ease of movement in turnover decisions.
