Abstract

The phenomenon of group turnover has generated substantial yet disconnected scholarly interests. Despite valuable insights gained from the collective turnover literature as well as parallel research concerning related or coordinated quitting, a holistic understanding of the unique group turnover phenomenon is needed, both to synthesize existing research across multiple domains and disciplines and to kindle new inquiries regarding its dynamic nature and developmental process. To this end, we begin by conducting an integrative review of research relating to group turnover, reinterpreting it by identifying its common pathways as a function of varying triggers, temporal patterns, and departure destinations. We then leverage the groups literature to explicate group turnover's self-reinforcing and dynamic nature and propose a three-dimensional Interdependence, Temporality, and Emergence (ITE) framework that accounts for its developmental process. Using this framework, we develop an illustrative set of propositions regarding how ITE-related group properties affect the extent to which individual departures might escalate into group turnover of a larger scale and faster speed. Our emphasis on groups as a unique unit of reference thus provides an important conceptual refinement and extension for understanding collective turnover-shifting from a static focus on aggregate exit (rates) to a dynamic focus on the often-coordinated, temporally evolving nature of multiple group member quit events.

从星星之火到燎原之势:对团体更替的综合概念回顾及其发展的理论探索。
团体人员流失现象引发了大量但互不关联的学术兴趣。尽管从集体离职文献以及相关或协调离职的平行研究中获得了有价值的见解,但我们仍需要对独特的群体离职现象有一个整体的认识,既要综合多个领域和学科的现有研究,又要对其动态性质和发展过程进行新的探究。为此,我们首先对与群体离职相关的研究进行了综合回顾,通过确定其作为不同触发因素、时间模式和离职目的地函数的共同路径,对其进行了重新解释。然后,我们利用群体文献来解释群体更替的自我强化和动态性质,并提出一个三维的相互依存、时间性和新兴(ITE)框架来解释其发展过程。利用这一框架,我们提出了一系列说明性命题,涉及与 ITE 相关的群体属性如何影响个人离职升级为规模更大、速度更快的群体更替。因此,我们将群体作为一个独特的参照单位,为理解集体更替提供了重要的概念改进和扩展--从静态地关注总体退出(率)转向动态地关注多个群体成员退出事件的经常协调和时间演变性质。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有)。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Applied Psychology® focuses on publishing original investigations that contribute new knowledge and understanding to fields of applied psychology (excluding clinical and applied experimental or human factors, which are better suited for other APA journals). The journal primarily considers empirical and theoretical investigations that enhance understanding of cognitive, motivational, affective, and behavioral psychological phenomena in work and organizational settings. These phenomena can occur at individual, group, organizational, or cultural levels, and in various work settings such as business, education, training, health, service, government, or military institutions. The journal welcomes submissions from both public and private sector organizations, for-profit or nonprofit. It publishes several types of articles, including: 1.Rigorously conducted empirical investigations that expand conceptual understanding (original investigations or meta-analyses). 2.Theory development articles and integrative conceptual reviews that synthesize literature and generate new theories on psychological phenomena to stimulate novel research. 3.Rigorously conducted qualitative research on phenomena that are challenging to capture with quantitative methods or require inductive theory building.
