Bakker, Arnold B.; ten Brummelhuis, Lieke L.; Prins, Jelle T.; van der Heijden, Frank M. M. A. – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 2011

Maertz, Carl P.; Stevens, Michael J.; Campion, Michael A. – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 2003
From interviews with 47 Mexican maquiladora workers, a model of voluntary turnover was created and compared with models from the United States, Canada, England, and Australia. Despite similarities, the cultural and economic environment affected the precise content of antecedents in the Mexican model. (Contains 63 references.) (SK)

Data from 200 Israeli employees on tardiness, absences, job satisfaction, and intent to leave were used to test three models. The best model for predicting satisfaction and intention used lateness and absence in two consecutive years as predictors. Demographic and environmental models showed a poorer fit. (SK)

Economic factors serve to control the degree to which individual and work-related factors can explain variation in turnover. Individual and work-related variables will be more predictive of turnover under prosperous economic conditions than when the economy is strained. (Author)
