This study addresses the role of career growth in the turnover process among Chinese new employees. Based on reviews of the background of Chinese new employee combined with the Theory of Work Adjustment, we focus on career growth, person–organization fit (P-O fit), and job satisfaction as potential predictors. We examined career growth’s mediating effect between P-O fit and job satisfaction and its role in predicting turnover intention. Questionnaires were sent out through e-mail to Chinese new employees graduated within the past 3 years. Results of 323 valid cases showed that (1) career growth was positively correlated to job satisfaction and negatively correlated to turnover intention, (2) job satisfaction fully mediated career growth’s effect on turnover intention, (3) P-O fit positively predicted career growth, (4) career growth fully mediated P-O fit’s effect on job satisfaction, (5) P-O fit, career growth, and job satisfaction jointly explained 40% of the turnover intention’s total variance. Implications for individuals and organizations are discussed.

Self-assemblies of the semirigid dipolar ligand 1,4-bis(benzimidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene (L) with zinc and cobalt salts have led to six new complexes, namely, 5), and {[Co(L) 2 (DMF) 2 ](ClO 4 ) 2 } n (6), respectively. Their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and further characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra, and thermogravimetric analyses. Compounds 1 and 2 are isomorphous and present one-dimensional chain-like structures. It is interesting that three-dimensional (3D) organic-inorganic hybrid frameworks containing meso-helical chains (P + M) have been observed in the solid-state of 1 and 2, in which meso-helical chains are alternately trapped by the cooperative association of coordination interactions as well as hydrogen bonds. With the replacement of Zn II /Co II nitrate salts with ZnCl 2 or CoCl 2 in the above reactions, the resulting complexes 3 and 4 contain P-helical and M-helical chains with 2 1 screw axis but crystallize as a racemate. Through π • • • π stacking interactions between two well-overlapping benzimidazoleyl rings from two adjacent chains, the 3D racemic supramolecular network is further assembled. However, reaction of M(ClO 4 ) 2 (M ) Zn( 5), Co( 6)) and L yields two high dimensional compounds 5 and 6 with helical character, in which compound 5 has a two-dimensional (2D) (4,4) wave-like layer constructed by vertical crossing of the left-(M) and right-(P)-handed helical chains with the central Zn II ions as the hinge nodes, and similarly, the final 3D supramolecular structure is assembled via weak π • • • π interactions between two central benzene rings from two adjacent ligands L of two neighboring 2D layers. Compound 6 presents a four-connected 3-fold interpenetrated 3D diamondoid network containing meso-helical chains along two mutually perpendicular directions, respectively. Furthermore, the photoluminescent properties of compounds 1, 3, and 5 were studied.
