Disaggregating the Motives Underlying Turnover Intentions: When Do Intentions Predict Turnover Behavior?
345
TL;DR: In this article, the intention to quit an organization represents one of the better predictors of actual turnover behavior, but the intention-behavior relationship varies widely across studies and one reason for the variability is that individuals possess different motives for stating a high intention of leaving, and it is the motive that accounts in part for when the intention will manifest itself in actual turnover.

Abstract: Although intention to quit an organization represents one of the better predictors of actual turnover behavior, the intention-behavior relationship varies widely across studies. This study argues that one reason for the variability is that individuals possess different motives for stating a high intention of leaving, and it is the motive that accounts in part for when the intention will manifest itself in actual turnover. Using a longitudinal design, expectations were supported in that only those intentions motivated by disaffection with the organization and its values resulted in the loss of employees.

Safety Climate and Safety Outcomes in Aircraft Maintenance: A Mediating Effect of Employee Turnover and Safety Motivation
Muhanna Alnoaimi
- 01 Jan 2015
Abstract: Aircraft maintenance is viewed as a critical safety component in general and military aviation industries, and thus it is crucial to identify the factors that may affect aircraft maintenance. Because the safety climate is a leading indicator of safety performance and safety outcomes, the current research utilized this approach to develop a model which can assist in explaining employee turnover, safety motivation, selfâ€"reported unsafe acts, reporting unsafe behaviors, incidents, and injuries in the aviation maintenance environment. This study included a sample of 283 technicians in military aircraft maintenance units who participated in a crossâ€"sectional random survey. Data collected were analyzed using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques. A structural model that fitted the data was developed which predicted 64% of the variance in employee turnover, 7% of the variance in safety motivation, 19% of the variance in unsafe acts, 41% of the variance in reporting unsafe behavior, and 19% of the variance in workplace injuries. Results indicate employees who report a perception of high turnover exhibit decreased safety motivation and increased unsafe acts which lead to higher levels of workplace injuries. The perception of safety climate was identified as an antecedent to safety performance and safety outcomes. Additionally, the effects of control variables such as age and education were tested. The implications for safety management in aircraft maintenance were also discussed. The studyâ€TMs results provide directions for future research on the turnover of aircraft maintenance technicians, safety performance, and safety outcomes.

Generalized expectancies for internal versus external control of reinforcement.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of reward or reinforcement on preceding behavior depend in part on whether the person perceives the reward as contingent on his own behavior or independent of it, and individuals may also differ in generalized expectancies for internal versus external control of reinforcement.
