Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to use macro-level theories based on the equilibrium between the exploration and exploitation of resources in an organisation to examine the association between turnover and performance through the analysis of a professional football (soccer) team in the Premier League, namely, Manchester United Football Club. Design/methodology/approach This study compiles historical data for 24 seasons of the Premier League between 1984-1985 and 2008-2009. Using these data, the authors define measures of performance and player turnover. Findings The results show the existence of an inverted U-shaped relationship between exploration and exploitation (turnover processes) and group efficiency under certain conditions, such as the number of work systems considered and the period during which the level of turnover is calculated. Originality/value Most research on employee turnover suggests that reductions in turnover have a positive effect on the efficiency of the organisation. However, the present study suggests that worker turnover can be analysed using theories based on the equilibrium between the processes of resource exploitation and exploration, especially for high-performance work groups. These theories predict an inverted U-shaped relationship between turnover and performance, which has been identified through empirical analysis.
高效团队的探索和开发过程之间的周转和平衡
本文旨在通过对英超职业足球队曼联足球俱乐部的分析,运用宏观层面的理论,基于组织中资源的开发与利用之间的平衡,来检验人员流动率与绩效之间的关系。本研究收集了1984-1985年至2008-2009年英超联赛24个赛季的历史数据。利用这些数据,作者定义了表现和球员流动率的衡量标准。结果表明,在一定条件下(如考虑的工作系统数量和计算周转水平的时间),勘探和开采(周转过程)与群体效率之间存在倒u型关系。大多数关于员工离职的研究表明,减少员工离职对组织的效率有积极的影响。然而,本研究表明,可以使用基于资源开发和勘探过程之间平衡的理论来分析工人流动,特别是对于高性能工作组。这些理论预测了离职与绩效之间的倒u型关系,并通过实证分析确定了这一关系。

期刊介绍: This international journal contributes to the successful implementation and development of work teams and team-based organizations by providing a forum for sharing experience and learning to stimulate thought and transfer of ideas. It seeks to bridge the gap between research and practice by publishing articles where the claims are evidence-based and the conclusions have practical value. Effective teams form the heart of every successful organization. But team management is one of the hardest challenges faced by managers.
