Employee turnover - or voluntary terminations of members from organizations - is a phenomenon of immense interest to both employers and organizaional scholars. Managers have long been interested in employee turnover because of the personnel costs incurred when employees quit, such as those for recruiting and graining new replacements.
However, turnover is not inherently negative. Although it creates personnel costs, the organizational consequences of turnover are dependent on who leaves and who stays. Although the departure of good performers give losses to the organization, departure of poor performers give beneficial consequences to the organization. And, we have to differentiate between organizationally avoidable turnover from organizationally unavoidable one.
Therefore, in the future, turnover researchers have to identify organizationally controllable reasons why good performers leave an organizations.
