摘要
Using insights from the relevant literature and recent empirical data, this paper investigates the relationship between organisational change and employee turnover. It proposes a mechanism for how widespread change translates into individual decisions to quit, and corroborates four relevant hypotheses. The paper also illustrates the importance for managers of understanding avoidability - the extent to which turnover decisions can be prevented - and concludes with a research agenda, encapsulated by a model describing the relationship between organisational change and turnover.
