Withdrawal Behaviors Among Hospital Employees

This research was focused on four interpretations of the relations among measures of psychological states, absence behavior, and turnover behavior. The four interpretations were cast as models, and differed in their complexity and in the relations expected among certain key variables. Complete data were gathered from 992 employees distributed among numerous job functions across five hospitals in central Illinois. Measures of psychological states were gathered in written surveys, and included estimates of job attitudes, desirability of turnover and absence, intentions regarding job search, turnover, and absence, and ease of engaging in turnover and absence. Incidental absence and turnover behaviors were monitored for five months subsequent to survey assessment.
