Yücel et al. as discussed by the authors examined the role of Employee Relation (ER) activities in reducing turnover intention, which is defined as the attitude of intent to leave or actually leaving the organizations.
Abstract
I this global era, the success of an organization depends on retaining qualifi ed and experienced employees. The most common challenge faced by the organization in today’s scenario is the increasing attrition rate. Employees in an organization either like or dislike their jobs, and on the basis of this liking or disliking employees choose to stay or leave the organization (Yücel 2012). Turnover Intention is defined as the attitude of intent to leave or actually leaving the organizations (Glissmeyer, Bishop, andFass, 2008). Many organizations are facing a problem of turnover among employees. Hatch and Dyer (2004: 1155) summarized such fi ndings with the observation that “fi rms with high turnover signifi cantly underperform their rivals”. However, it is important to understand how employee relation practices make an employee, stay in an organization. The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of Employee Relation (ER) activities in reducing turnover intention.

Organizational Commitment, Job Satisfaction and Turnover Among Psychiatric Technicians. Technical Report No. 16.

Abstract: Abstract : A study is reported of the variations in organizational commitment and job satisfaction, as related to subsequent turnover in a sample of recently-employed psychiatric technician trainees. A longitudinal study was made across a 10 1/2 month period, with attitude measures collected at four points in time. For this sample, job satisfaction measures appeared better able to differentiate future stayers from leavers in the earliest phase of the study. With the passage of time, organizational commitment measures proved to be a better predictor of turnover, and job satisfaction failed to predict turnover. The findings are discussed in the light of other related studies, and possible explanations are examined. (Modified author abstract)

Why people stay: using job embeddedness to predict voluntary turnover

TL;DR: In this paper, a new construct, called job embeddedness, is introduced, which includes individuals' links to other people, teams, and groups, perceptions of their fit with job, organization, and community, and what they say they would have to sacrifice if they left their jobs.

Review and Conceptual Analysis of the Employee Turnover Process

TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual model is presented that suggests a need to distinguish between satisfaction (present oriented) and attraction/expected utility (future oriented) for both the present role and alternative roles, and a potential mechanism for integrating aggregate-level research findings into an individual-level model of the turnover process.
