Organizational culture and employee retention

Article Abstract:

This study investigated the retention rates of 904 college graduates hired in six public accounting firms over a six-year period. Organizational culture values varied significantly among the firms. The variation in cultural values had a significant effect on the rates at which the newly hired employees voluntarily terminated employment. The relationship between the employees' job performance and their retention also varied significantly with organizational culture values. The cultural effects were stronger than the combined exogenous influences of the labor market and the new employees' demographic characteristics. The cultural effects are estimated to have resulted in over six million dollars' difference in human resource costs between firms with different cultural values. Implications for research on person-organization fit are discussed. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)

Economic dependency on work: a moderator of the relationship between organizational commitment and performance

Article Abstract:

This study examined the role of employees' financial requirements as a moderator of the relationship between their organizational commitment and performance. Hypotheses were tested on two samples of salespeople from different organizations. The results of hierarchical regression analysis indicated stronger relationships between organizational commitment and performance for those with low financial requirements than for those with high requirements.
