The elusive relationship between perceived employment opportunity and turnover behavior: A methodological or conceptual artifact?

Steel, Robert P., Griffeth, Rodger W.·1989·Journal of Applied Psychology

Abstract

Contrairement aux attentes theoriques les resultats empiriques donnent de faibles correlations entre mesures des «alternatives percues» et la «rotation professionnelle». 3 problemes methodologiques sont souleves pour ameliorer la predictivite des alternatives percues: variance inter-versus-intra professionnelle (probleme de l'homogeneite des echantillons), effets attenuants du taux de rotation de base et instruments non adequats. Discussion des solutions potentielles
