Determinants of Turnover Among Volunteers
Abstract
This study examined the causal sequencing of attitudes, personal situations, and behavioral intentions as determinants of turnover among hospital volunteers. Structural equation modeling indicated that, consistent with prevailing models of turnover, attitudes and personal situations influenced turnover indirectly with intentions acting as a mediating factor. However, the analysis suggested that one aspect of the volunteer's personal situation (the convenience of the work schedule) also had a direct effect on turnover.

Mentors with higher incomes probably have greater flexibility in their work schedules and can more readily afford amenities, such as child care and personal transportation, that increase the convenience of sustained contact.
“Nonetheless, mentors with higher incomes probably have greater flexibility in their work schedules and can more readily afford amenities, such as child care and personal transportation, that increase the convenience of sustained contact (Miller, Powell, & Seltzer, 1990).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
