TL;DR: Turnover is the rotation of workers around the labor market; between firms, jobs, and occupations; and between the states of employment and unemployment as discussed by the authors ; it is the most significant cause of declining productivity and sagging morale in both the public and private sectors.
Abstract: Turnover is the rotation of workers around the labor market; between firms, jobs, and occupations; and between the states of employment and unemployment.1 “In-house engineering,” “revolving door policy,” and “management by turnover,” are a few of the many colorful and euphemistic terms used to describe this organizational phenomenon. By whatever name or form, labor turnover is one of the most significant causes of declining productivity and sagging morale in both the public and private sectors. Management theorists say it lies behind the failure of U. S. employee productivity to keep pace with foreign competition.2

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose and assess the argument that the job satisfaction of federal government employees is determined primarily by three sets of factors: job characteristics, organizational characteristics, and individual characteristics.
Abstract: What determines the job satisfaction of federal government employees? Using data reported in the Survey of Federal Government Employees, I propose and assess the argument that the job satisfaction of federal government employees is determined primarily by three sets of factors: job characteristics, organizational characteristics, and individual characteristics. The empirical findings show that job characteristics such as pay satisfaction, promotional opportunity, task clarity and significance, and skills utilization, as well as organizational characteristics such as organizational commitment and relationship with supervisors and co-workers have consistently significant effects on the job satisfaction of federal government employees. I also discuss the research and organizational implications of my findings.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated antecedents of organizational trust and found that age, marital status, and work group cohesion were positively associated with organizational trust. But organizational trust did not differ by either race or gender.
Abstract: The objective of this research is to empirically assess antecedents of organizational trust. To accomplish this objective, 83 managerial employees were surveyed in a branch of a federal governmental agency located in a large metropolitan city in the Southwestern United States. Multiple regression analysis showed that age, marital status, and work group cohesion were positively associated with organizational trust. Organizational trust did not differ by either race or gender. Results are discussed in light of competitive challenges facing human resource managers.
