The impact of management on the engagement and well-being of high emotional labour employees

Australia, like many other countries, suffers high turnover of nurses and police officers. Contributions to effectively manage the turnover challenge have been called for, and there are few Australian studies of nursing/policing turnover intentions. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of supervisor–subordinate relationships and perceived organisational support (POS) upon engagement, well-being, organisational commitment and turnover intentions. Second, we examined the similarities and differences between nursing and policing work contexts. The retention of nurses/police has been investigated from traditional management perspectives; however, we used a different theoretical approach – social exchange theory – and evaluated its utility as a framework. Findings are from Australian data collected during 2010–2011 from 510 nurses and 193 police officers, using a survey-based, self-report strategy. Partial least squares path modelling was used to analyse these data. Results indicated that for both samples, engagement predicts well-being and then, well-being predicts affective commitment and intentions to leave. MANOVA results suggested that nurses had significantly higher levels of satisfaction with their supervisor–subordinate relationships, POS, engagement, well-being and affective commitment than police officers. Only the intention to leave was similar for both groups. Given that turnover can be influenced by supervisors/management, this study provides new knowledge about targeted retention strategies.     

Do employees reciprocate to intra-firm trainings? An analysis of absenteeism and turnover rates

This article contributes to the debate on the link between reciprocal motives of employees and HRM practices by studying the behavioral effects of intra-firm trainings on absence behavior and turnover probability. We apply the gift-exchange framework and offer a behavioral perspective that helps to explain why firms invest in trainings that provide mainly general skills. We argue that employees may reciprocate the gift of firm-sponsored training with higher levels of costly effort or commitment. We employ a stringent methodological approach based on panel data of a large multinational firm and find that, in contrast to human capital predictions, general trainings lead to a decrease in turnover rates. Most notably, we find the strongest effect for employees with the lowest levels of firm tenure. This is a quite novel result as this group should face the lowest separation costs, for instance, due to the accumulation of firm-specific human capital. Hence, intra-firm trainings are an important retention device, especially for newly or recently hired employees. Furthermore, a short-term decrease in absenteeism indicates a temporary, reciprocal reaction by employees.     

The effect of international staffing practices on subsidiary staff retention in multinational corporations

This paper contributes to the scarce body of research on employee turnover in multinational corporations' foreign subsidiaries and addresses some key issues related to dealing with turnover of local staff. Based on a literature review, I conceptualize locals' perceived career prospects and their organizational identification as key variables mediating the relationship between international staffing practices and local staff turnover. In a second step, the paper develops instruments that help international firms to retain their subsidiary staff. Specifically, I focus on how international staffing practices need to be configured to ensure employee retention and I derive moderating factors. My arguments are integrated into a framework for the effect of international staffing practices on subsidiary staff retention in multinational corporations.     

An empirically-derived multidimensional measure of expatriate success: reconciling the discord

This paper examines the discord surrounding how expatriate success, or effectiveness, is defined. We review the many ways that success has been conceptualized and then seek to reconcile these differences by presenting a multidimensional measure of success, based on data collected from 118 expatriate respondents worldwide. A series of factor analyses, along with reliability and item analyses yielded nine measurement scales which included cultural adjustment, work-related adjustment, career development, HQ-subsidiary coordination, assignment completion, professional/skill development, shaping and controlling the subsidiary, satisfaction and overall assignment effectiveness. The process by which these scales were developed is described in the paper and all items and scale reliabilities are presented.

上市公司董事长变更对盈余质量的影响——一项基于事件研究法的经验证据

本文以2004年沪、深两市董事长发生变更且及时公告的上市公司为样本,以非正常收益率为因变量进行了窗口期61天的董事长变更事件研究。研究证实,董事长变更向市场传递了“不利”消息,进一步研究发现,这主要是因为董事长变更往往伴随着盈余质量的下降,也就是说董事长变更是上市公司进行盈余操纵的重要时机,但市场对此有所识别,所以导致显著为负的累积非正常收益率。     

饭店企业一般培训、特殊培训与离职倾向关系研究——以厦门市高星级酒店为例

当前我国酒店业发展迅速,但普遍存在员工离职率高的问题。酒店培训包括一般培训和特殊培训,是影响员工离职倾向的重要因素。通过文献研究法、问卷调查法和统计分析法,对厦门高星级酒店的员工进行问卷调查,并利用SPSS19.0进行分析。研究发现：高星级酒店员工培训对离职倾向具有显著影响,一般培训、特殊培训均与离职倾向呈负相关关系,并且不同属性的员工在培训及离职倾向间也具有差异性。基于此提出相关建议。     

基于CatBoost的护士离职预测研究

针对传统的离职预测算法应用于现实中高维度小样本不平衡数据集时存在准确度低、易过拟合、鲁棒性差等问题,应用梯度增强集成分类器CatBoost算法,进行类别型特征处理,利用BOHB(Bayesian Optimization and Hyperband)寻找最优参数,结合交叉验证对模型分类性能进行评估,建立分类模型并对护士离职情况进行预测。该算法采用高维小样本不平衡特征的上海部分公立医院的护士离职数据集,并与XGBoost、随机森林、支持向量机进行对比。实验结果表明,该算法准确度高,鲁棒性强,能够有效地对护士离职进行预测。
