Dual-systems perspective on turnover types and destination choices
Abstract
This dissertation adopts a dual-systems perspective to investigate how impulsivity and self-control relate to turnover types and destination choices. The personality traits of impulsivity and self-control are directly tested empirically for their relationship with various turnover types and destination choices, and their respective roles are identified. An archival database is used in this dissertation to circumvent the participant bias that exists with previous turnover research. Persons identified as high on self-control, regardless of their level of impulsivity, are shown to have a significant impact on their ability to retain employment. The findings call into question the belief that self-control and impulsivity exist on the same continuum.
