A model of general training, banking and labor turnover
Article Abstract:
A model challenges the theory that general training has no influence on labor turnover. Traditional theories maintain that workers should bear the cost of general training. If the firm contributes the employee receives less remuneration. However, the study finds workers are unable to finance general training and may be paid more in the training period with employers recovering the loan in the post-training period. A lower post-training wage increases the possibilities of a worker seeking more lucrative employment.
