  • High-performance work practices and job embeddedness

    Open AccessKohyar Kiazad, Peter W Hom et al.ARTICLEJournal of Vocational Behavior2024

    Using Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, we developed and tested a theoretical model linking high-performance work practices (HPWPs) to employees' quit intentions and job performance via their occupational, organizational, and job-role embeddedness . We also investigated how family embeddedness (FE) in the organization moderated those indirect relationships, addressing long-neglected family influence on HPWP outcomes. For a broad test of mod…

  • STEMming the tide

    Open AccessKohyar Kiazad, Simon Lloyd D Restubog et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior2024References: 12

    The question of why so many people leave science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) jobs continues to echo through social science research and Government policy. This is not surprising given the considerable investments into uptake and quality of STEM education and that STEM workers have a pivotal role to play in addressing current and future grand challenges. Yet, too many individuals with tertiary degrees in STEM—disproportionately…

  • Survey response rates

    Open AccessBrooks C Holtom, Brooks Holtom et al.ARTICLEHuman Relations2022Cited by: 19References: 60

    Survey methodology has been and continues to be a pervasively used data-collection method in social science research. To better understand the state of the science, we first analyze response-rate information reported in 1014 surveys described in 703 articles from 17 journals from 2010 to 2020. Results showed a steady increase in average response rate from 48% in 2005 to 53% in 2010 to 56% in 2015 and 68% in 2020; a marked increase in the number o…

  • Organizational practices that promote job embeddedness and retention

  • Even the best laid plans sometimes go askew

    Sibila E Seibert, Scott E Seibert et al.ARTICLEJournal of Applied Psychology2013

    Drawing on career self-management frameworks as well as image theory and the unfolding model of turnover, we developed a model predicting early career employees' decisions to pursue graduate education. Using a sample of 337 alumni from 2 universities, we found that early career individuals with intrinsic career goals, who engaged in career planning, who were less satisfied with their career, or who experienced impactful positive career shocks wer…

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

    Open AccessBrooks C Holtom, SIMON T TIDD et al.ARTICLEHuman Relations2013Cited by: 2References: 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…

  • 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…

  • Survey response rate levels and trends in organizational research

    Open AccessYehuda Baruch, Brooks C HoltomARTICLEHuman Relations2008Cited by: 240References: 39

    This study examines the response rates for surveys used in organizational research. We analysed 1607 studies published in the years 2000 and 2005 in 17 refereed academic journals, and we identified 490 different studies that utilized surveys. We examined the response rates in these studies, which covered more than 100,000 organizations and 400,000 individual respondents. The average response rate for studies that utilized data collected from indi…

  • The Effects of Job Embeddedness on Organizational Citizenship, Job Performance, Volitional Absences, and Voluntary Turnover.

    Thomas Lee, T W Lee et al.ARTICLEAcademy of Management Journal2004

    This study extends theory and research on job embeddedness, which was disaggregated into its two major subdimensions, on-the-job and off-the-job embeddedness. As hypothesized, regression analyses revealed that off-the-job embeddedness was significantly predictive of subsequent "voluntary turnover" and volitional absences, whereas on-the-job embeddedness was not. Also as hypothesized, on-the-job embeddedness was significantly predictive of organiz…
