Abstract Details

2019, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Industrial/Organizational Psychology (Arts and Sciences).
The present study explores relationships between work-family conflict and turnover via affective mechanisms, expanding beyond organizational turnover to also examine occupational turnover. Extant theories of turnover also highlight the importance of the labor market in both organizational and occupational turnover processes, such as alternative opportunities that are available to the individual (e.g., Mobley et al. 1979), yet the labor market is often not included in empirical tests of turnover theory. The present study expands this literature by examining occupation-specific unemployment (N=328) and projected occupation growth (N=347) in both the organizational and occupational turnover processes. Results indicate that occupation-specific unemployment rates may play a role in both forms of turnover, providing evidence that researchers and practitioners should measure and assess labor market characteristics in future practical, empirical, and theoretical endeavors. Theoretical and practical implications, as well as future research directions, are also discussed.
