TLDR
In this paper, it was hypothesized that job type acts as a moderating factor affecting the variables indicated as important in the intention-to-leave decision, and the results of this study support the hypothesis.
Abstract
Studies concerned with variables involving an individual's decision to leave an organization are categorized into process and content aspects. Variations in previous tests of causal content models are discussed. It was hypothesized that job type acts as a moderating factor affecting the variables indicated as important in the intention-to-leave decision. The results of this study support the hypothesis. Implications of the findings are discussed.
