  • Surveying the forest

    Open AccessAlex L Rubenstein, Marion B Eberly et al.ARTICLEPersonnel Psychology2018

    Recent narrative reviews (e.g., Hom, Mitchell, Lee, and Griffeth, 2012; Hom, Lee, Shaw, and Hausknecht, 2017) advise that it is timely to assess the progress made in research on voluntary employee turnover so as to guide future work. To provide this assessment, we employed a three‐step approach. First, we conducted a comprehensive meta‐analysis of turnover predictors, updating existing effect sizes and examining multiple new antecedents. Second, …

  • Fred Edward Fiedler (1922–2017)

    Terence R Mitchell, Terence MitchellARTICLEAmerican Psychologist2018

    Presents an obituary for Fred Edward Fiedler, who died June 8, 2017. Fiedler made four truly significant contributions to the field of psychology. First, he changed the way psychologists think about successful leadership. His book A Theory of Leadership Effectiveness (1967) provided the foundation for much of his later work. Second, at both the University of Illinois and the University of Washington, Fiedler had his own research building and faci…

  • A Dynamic, Inclusive, and Affective Evolutionary View of Organizational Behavior

    Terence R MitchellARTICLEAnnual Review of Organizational…2017

    This article reflects my observations about major changes in organizational behavior (OB) during my 50 years working in the field. I begin with a brief description of my personal journey as foundational for my perspective. I then discuss how the field has changed structurally and focus on the contributions of the Academy of Management (AoM) and the increasing diversity of our members, especially the increasing number of women, minorities, and peo…

  • Labor Turnover

    Open AccessTyler Burch, Tyler C Burch et al.CHAPTERWiley Encyclopedia of Management2015

    Owing to the organizational disruption and associated high costs incurred when workers leave an organization, both scholars and practitioners alike have sought to better understand labor turnover (i.e., the cessation of an individual's membership in an organization). The following review represents a summary of how organizational scholarship has advanced on the subject. In this we provide a comprehensive definition of labor turnover, followed by …

  • Event System Theory

    Frederick P Morgeson, Terence R Mitchell et al.ARTICLEAcademy of Management Review2015

    Organizations are dynamic, hierarchically structured entities. Such dynamism is reflected in the emergence of significant events at every organizational level. Despite this fact, there has been relatively little discussion about how events become meaningful and come to impact organizations across space and time. We address this gap by developing event system theory, which suggests that events become salient when they are novel, disruptive, and cr…

  • The Story of Why We Stay

    Thomas William Lee, Tyler C Burch et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Organizational…2014

    In this article, we examine the history and development of job embeddedness, beginning with the story of the idea’s conception, theoretical foundation, and original empirical structure as a major predictor of employee voluntary turnover. We then consider more recent expansions in the theoretical structure and empirical measurement of job embeddedness, exploring job embeddedness as a causal indicator model versus a reflective model. Next, we revie…

  • The need to consider time, level, and trends

    Open AccessTerence R Mitchell, Tyler Burch et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior2013Citada por: 1Referencias: 1

    We focus on the contributions to research generated by considering attitudes and behaviors as dynamic over time and across different levels. Using turnover research as an example, we demonstrate how a past, present, and future focus, across levels, may enhance both theory and methodology. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd

  • A demonstration of the importance of temporal considerations in the prediction of newcomer turnover

    Open AccessBrooks C Holtom, SIMON T TIDD et al.ARTICLEHuman Relations2013Citada por: 2Referencias: 41

    We theorize about and examine empirically the increase in predictive strength of antecedents of voluntary turnover over the first three years of employment using survival analysis with time-varying covariates and period effects. On the basis of employee survey data gathered from 240 newcomers working in a retail bank and organizational turnover records collected over multiple years, we find that job embeddedness and job satisfaction increase in t…

  • Further clarification on the Hom, Mitchell, Lee, and Griffeth (2012) model

    Rodger W Griffeth, Thomas Lee et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2012

    In this article, we reply to Bergman, Payne, and Boswell (2012) and Maertz (2012), who commented on our reconceptualization of the employee turnover criterion and proximal withdrawal states (Hom, Mitchell, Lee, & Griffeth, 2012). We agree with some points (e.g., anticipated destinations) but take issue with others (e.g., turnover intentions as the criterion). Nonetheless, our aim is to clarify our integrative formulation about mindsets for organi…

  • Turnover Contagion

    Will Felps, Terence R Mitchell et al.ARTICLEAcademy of Management Journal2009

    This research developed and tested a model of turnover contagion in which the job embeddedness and job search behaviors of coworkers influence employees' decisions to quit. In a sample of 45 branches of a regional bank and 1,038 departments of a national hospitality firm, multilevel analysis revealed that coworkers' job embedded-ness and job search behaviors explain variance in individual “voluntary turnover” over and above that explained by othe…

  • Turnover and Retention Research

    Brooks C Holtom, Terence R Mitchell et al.ARTICLEAcademy of Management Annals2008

    Given the extensive research on the topic of voluntary employee turnover in the past decade as well as new managerial approaches to employee retention, labor market dynamism, and evolution in research methodology and technology, it is important that researchers evaluate the current state of the field. In this chapter, we critically review prior research to provide a solid foundation and clear perspective to guide future research. Some of the majo…

  • The interplay between theory and method

    John Van Maanen, Jesper B Sorensen et al.ARTICLEAcademy of Management Review2007

    This special issue contains six papers that address a variety of practical research process questions. The papers explore how theory and method inevitably interact in particular organization and management studies. Here we offer an overview of how theory and method have been treated to date by organization researchers and suggest that respecting both the primacy of theory and the primacy of evidence is no easy task but a necessary balancing pract…

  • Collective Efficacy and Aspects of Shared Mental Models as Predictors of Performance Over Time in Work Groups

    Open AccessErika Peterson, Terence R Mitchell et al.ARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2000Citada por: 5Referencias: 8

    We assessed collective efficacy (a group's judgment of their ability to perform a particular task) and some dimensions of shared mental models (models of the group structure, process and the task, that members hold in common) in student groups working on semester-long research projects. In particular, we assessed the extent to which group members had agreement and accuracy about members' past and future contributions to the group project, and agr…

  • The effects of strong belief structures on information‐processing evaluations and choice

    Open AccessKenneth J Rediker, Terence R Mitchell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Behavioral Decision…1993Citada por: 3Referencias: 15

    This study examined the influence of the strength of belief structures on selected aspects of the decision‐making process. To examine these issues, a business‐acquisition decision scenario was studied in an experiment. Subjects played the role of a CEO of an electronics firm and were asked to evaluate the attractiveness of six potential acquisition candidates and to rate various aspects of the associated decision process. We presented half the su…

  • Organizational Obstacles

    Open AccessKaren Brown, Karen A Brown et al.ARTICLEHuman Relations1993Citada por: 3Referencias: 25

    A model was developed to describe the roles of organizational obstacles (social and technical) in relation to three types of performance outcomes (customer satisfaction, financial performance, and employee job satisfaction), as well as to various moderators associated with different job types (e.g., customer contact, organizational commitment). In a test of this model, employee perceptions of organizational obstacles were measured in a retail ban…

  • Image theory

    Open AccessLee Roy Beach, Burton M Smith et al.ARTICLEJournal of Behavioral Decision…1988Citada por: 3

    Image theory has been proposed as a descriptive model of decision making. The present work examines the sufficiency of a simple counting rule as a theoretical description of the assessment of compatibility, a central construct in the theory. The research was done in the context of executives assessing the compatibility between plans for reaching a specified goal and the principles that guide the operation of their respective firms. First, for eac…

  • Leadership Failures, the Distrusting Public, and Prospects of the Administrative State

    Terence R Mitchell, William G ScottARTICLEPublic Administration Review1987Citada por: 32Referencias: 8

    Two centuries of social and political change were required to evolve the network of interdependent public and private organizations which is now the hallmark of the American administrative state.' The overriding purpose of this vast administrative apparatus was to provide a rational basis for national resource allocation and coordination.2 The ends it sought to satisfy were, on the one hand, the autarkic motives of national power, the demands for…

  • A review of occupational preference and choice research using expectancy theory and decision theory

    Open AccessTerence R Mitchell, Lee Roy BeachARTICLEJournal of Occupational Psychology1976

    Expectancy theory and decision theory are described as models that can be used to predict occupational preference and choice. The empirical research using these models is reviewed and found to be highly supportive. Every investigation showed considerable support for the model being tested. The implications for practice and further research are discussed

  • Decision theory analysis of social power

    William E Pollard, Terence R MitchellARTICLEPsychological Bulletin1972

    The purpose of the paper is to present decision theory as a framework which can clarify and organize the various conceptualizations of social power. The decisions and consequent behavior of actors in exerting and responding to social power are analyzed in these terms. A number of theories of power are reviewed and a detailed description of a decision theory approach to power is presented. (Author)

  • Instrumentality theories

    Terence R Mitchell, Anthony BiglanARTICLEPsychological Bulletin1971Citada por: 8

    A number of psychologists in a variety of areas have proposed that behavior can be predicted from knowledge of the probability of the behavior leading to various outcomes and the evaluation of these outcomes. Theories based on this idea are reviewed in the areas of verbal conditioning, attitudes, and industrial psychology. Criticisms and improvements of the theories are discussed. (Author)
