job turnover
(noun)
The number of employees who leave an organization of their own free will and need to be replaced.
Examples of job turnover in the following topics:
-
How Job Satisfaction Influences Behavior
- Job satisfaction can affect a person's level of commitment to the organization, absenteeism, and job turnover.
- Job satisfaction can affect a person's level of commitment to the organization, absenteeism, and job turnover rate.
- Job satisfaction also reduces stress, which can affect job performance, mental well-being, and physical health.
- There are some indications that job satisfaction is directly tied to job performance; nonetheless, feeling less stressed can positively affect a person's behavior.
- —for improvement and job enrichment.
-
Financial Rewards for Managers
- Other types of pay-for-performance jobs are found in the manufacturing, restaurant, and financial industries.
- Managerial roles can function similarly to these pay-for-performance jobs, where the success of the company (or department) will directly affect the salary of the manager.
- These and other incentive programs are often used to reduce turnover, boost morale and loyalty, improve employee wellness, increase retention, and drive performance.
-
Employee Development
- Senior management invests in employees in a top-down manner, hoping to develop talent internally to reduce turnover, increase efficiency, and acquire human resource value.
- What this essentially means is that human resources departments, in addition to their other responsibilities of job design, hiring, training, and employee interaction, are also tasked with helping others improve their career opportunities.
-
Evaluating Employee Performance
- Performance evaluation is the process of assessing an employee's job performance and productivity over a specified period of time.
- Performance evaluation, or performance appraisal (PA), is the process of assessing an employee's job performance and productivity.
- An ineffective performance-evaluation system can create high turnover and reduce employee productivity.
- Supervisors record behaviors that they judge to be job-performance relevant, and they keep a running tally of good and bad behaviors and evaluate the performance of employees based on their judgement.
- Self-assessments: in self-assessments, individuals assess and evaluate their own behavior and job performance.
-
Compensation and Competition
- In addition, attracting employees purely through offering high levels of compensation has disadvantages; these employees may have little attachment to the intrinsics of the job and may leave as soon as they find a better offer elsewhere.
- By looking at these factors an organization can attract the employees it needs to maintain a competitive advantage and keep employee turnover low.
-
Positive Reinforcement
- Employee programs are often used to reduce turnover, boost morale and loyalty, improve employee wellness, increase retention, and drive daily employee performance.
- In an organization, this can be a positive factor to motivate employees to do a better job.
-
Job Characteristics Theory
- The Job Characteristics Theory is a framework for identifying how job characteristics affect job outcomes.
- The Job Characteristics Theory (JCT), also referred to as Core Characteristics Model and developed by Hackman and Oldham, is widely used as a framework to study how particular job characteristics impact job outcomes, including job satisfaction.
- No one combination of characteristics makes for the ideal job; rather, it is the purpose of job design to adjust the levels of each characteristic to attune the overall job with the worker performing it.
- The job characteristics directly derive the three states.
- The five core job characteristics can be combined to form a motivating potential score for a job that can be used as an index of how likely a job is to affect an employee's attitudes and behaviors.
-
Defining Job Satisfaction
- Job satisfaction is the level of contentment a person feels regarding his or her job.
- Job satisfaction falls into two levels: affective job satisfaction and cognitive job satisfaction.
- Affective job satisfaction is a person's emotional feeling about the job as a whole.
- Cognitive job satisfaction is how satisfied employees feel concerning some aspect of their job, such as pay, hours, or benefits.
- These assessments help management define job satisfaction objectively.
-
Tactics for Improving Fit
- The basis for improving fit between the employee and the job is striking a balance between job design and individual—crafting the job in such a way that it complements the employee's individual skills, aspirations, personality, and attributes.
- As a result, flexibility to tailor the job design for both organizational effectiveness and employee job satisfaction is a significant, ongoing part of the job design process.
- This design becomes the foundation for the job description, which is a more exact picture of the job's nature and which comprises the following:
- The first step in improving fit for a given job design is training.
- Job analysis employs a series of steps which enable a supervisor to assess a given employee/job fit and to improve the fit, if necessary.
-
Defining Job Design
- To understand job design, it is helpful to identify some key elements and their relationship with job design processes.
- Managers should design jobs that motivate employees.
- In job design, it is necessary to identify and structure jobs in a way that uses the company's resources efficiently.
- Reward systems also play a role in job design.
- Another modern job design theory is the Core Characteristics Model, which maintains five important job elements that motivate workers and performance:
