“…His empirical work (1993,1995,1997), which used data from the Employment Opportunity Pilot Project, suggests that the absolute level of wages and change in wages both affect turnover rates negatively. Munasinghe (2006), using data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth, came up with similar findings that underscore the importance of external wage offers and internal wage growth. Other empirical studies (Azfar and Danninger, 2001;Galizzi and Lang, 1998;Kim, 1999;Leonard, 1987;Levine, 1992;Powell, Montgomery and Cosgrave, 1994;Topel and Ward, 1992) have also supported the model's hypothesis of a negative relationship between labour turnover rates and wage levels along with wage changes or expectations about those changes, which we also test in the context of Mexico's maquilas.…”

Abstract. Theories of efficiency wage and human capital formation suggest that both should have a significant influence on employee turnover in offshore manufacturing sites. This influence is explored and examined empirically with a stratified, random sample of northern Mexican maquilas — the historical choice for offshoring in that country and one of the world's earliest and most enduring offshore manufacturing sites. Statistical tests reveal the strong influence on production‐level turnover of direct wages and human capital formation when the latter variable is measured in terms of “maquiladora generations”. The distinctive human resource practices of the maquiladora generations are then presented and discussed.

“…One argument for these results is that a lack of room for promotion or higher wages from outside options may encourage workers with desirable traits to seek outside employment (Mas 2006;Munasinghe 2006). When motivated workers and those with desirable traits leave, the quality of employees who remain employed is lower.…”

We find that ignoring endogeneity leads to a systematic underestimation of the effect of nursing turnover on mortality and quality of care in a sample of California nursing homes. Specifically, 10 percentage point increase in nurse turnover results in a facility receiving 2.2 additional deficiencies per annual regulatory survey, reflecting a 19.3 percent increase. Not accounting for endogeneity of turnover leads to results that suggest only a 1 percent increase in deficiencies. We also find suggestive evidence that turnover results in lower quality in other dimensions and may increase mortality. An implication of our mortality results is that turnover may be a mechanism for the procyclicality of mortality rates. JEL Classification Codes: I11, J21, E24

Jordan as one example of Middle Eastern countries suffers from the problem of workers turnover. This paper analyzed this issue numerically and by building a statistical model to find out the main reasons causing this problem as a first step towards the right solution. Five main categories for workers turnover were studied and investigated. The salary, the working environment, the helpfulness and corporation of the management, the worker psychological state and relationships with surrounding environment, and the services provided by the employer to the employee. Statistical analysis of the results showed that the main reason for turnover in industrial cities is the salary.
