The effect of turnover on work satisfaction and mental health: support for a situational perspective

Article Abstract:

Research shows that situational factors explain psychological contentment, work satisfaction and mental health better than attitudinal consistency does. A two-year longitudinal field survey was conducted to measure intraoccupational and interoccupational turnover and rate mental health and work satisfaction. Turnover predicted job satisfaction and mental health. Further research using different subjects, observations and occupational variables is required for organizations to control costs related to employee turnover.
