Abstract

The article discusses the four types of labor turnover--voluntary accessions and separations, which have been researched, and involuntary accessions and separations, which are potential research topics. Voluntary separations include quitting a job and non-mandatory retirement. Involuntary separations include dismissal, statutory retirement, and death. The ambiguous design of a taxonomy can result in research errors because turnover is used as a dependent variable without recognizing the distinction between voluntary and involuntary separations. There are references to research by Edwin A. Locke, William H. Mobley, Allen C. Bluedorn, Edward Sapir, and Benjamin Whorf.
