Research Handbook on Employee Turnover

Edited by George Saridakis, Professor of Small Business and Entrepreneurship, Kent University Business School and Cary Cooper, Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, UK

'Like a divorce, turnover is important for both partners: here, workers and firms. Some turnover in a firm is probably good, but how much should there be and how much is there? What are its drivers and consequences? And what, if anything, should we do about it? The current volume provides an extremely useful snapshot of this interdisciplinary literature, from which readers will come away with many ideas for future research.'--Andrew Clark, Paris School of Economics, France'This Handbook picks up a mature research area - employee turnover - and places it in the latest context. Turnover is looked at through a series of new lenses from the fields of organizational psychology, human capital management and analytics, mobility, and intergenerational research. The international contributors bring a global and contemporary perspective to the topic, and capture the latest evidence on the most important predictors, consequences and management options for turnover. An excellent resource for researchers and reflective practitioners alike.'--Paul Sparrow, Centre for Performance-led HR, Lancaster University Management School, UK'I warmly welcome this timely volume put together by George Saridakis and Cary Cooper. They have assembled an authoritative collection of papers and then provided an excellent editorial overview of issues relating to job turnover. I particularly liked the examination of job turnover from the very different perspectives of workers, businesses and the economy as a whole.'--David Storey, University of Sussex, UK
