ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT AND TURNOVER - A METAANALYSIS

This meta-analysis examines whether differences in the lengths of time elapsed between the measurement of organizational commitment and departure interact with the career stages of employees in moderating the commitment-turnover relationship. For younger employees, the shorter the time separating the measurement of organizational commitment and the occurrence of departure, the stronger the correlations. The findings also show that the commitment measure used strongly affects the magnitude of the relationship. The findings are discussed in terms of their implications for future research.
