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.

Work Role Transitions: A Study of American Expatriate Managers in Japan
TL;DR: This article examined the relationship between several variables and work role transition in the case of an overseas assignment to Japan and found that role ambiguity and role discretion were found to influence work adjustment, while predeparture knowledge, association with local nationals, and family's adjustment correlate with general adjustment of American expatriate managers in Japan.
