摘要：We use a secondary data set from a large distribution center to examine the dynamics between monthly voluntary and involuntary employee turnover. Our results reveal a complex, intertwined relationship between voluntary and involuntary turnover. First, voluntary turnover is positively related between consecutive months. Second, high involuntary turnover is negatively related to voluntary turnover in the following month. Third, high voluntary turnover is, surprisingly, followed by high involuntary turnover. These complex dynamics reveal that over a long period of time, dismissals on the one hand help to reduce the average voluntary leaves; on the other hand, it will increase the average new hires. This observation implies a tradeoff between maintaining the existing workforce with high productivity and avoiding the cost associated with hiring new employees. Our analysis shows that the “tolerate" strategy with few dismissals yields a higher average profit than a “stringent" policy with many dismissals does when either the hiring cost or the net productivity gap between the experienced and new employees is sufficiently high. Otherwise, the “stringent" strategy is better than the “tolerate" strategy for a firm's profitability. This study also develops a stylized model to demonstrate how the dynamics of employee turnover influences a firm's recruitment decision and profitability.
