Griffeth and Hom Turnover Model

In short, Griffeth and Hom proposed a comprehensive model of employee turnover in which job satisfaction and organizational commitment are treated as the major mediators in the turnover process:

JOB SATISFACTION
Assumed to be influenced by:
- Job-related factors (e.g., job complexity and group cohesion)
- Individual-related factors (e.g., negative affectivity)
- Labor market conditions (influences employee turnover through perceptions of the costs and benefits of both job seeking and turnover, job search, and finally evaluation of alternatives)
ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT
Influenced by:
- Job- and organization-related factors (e.g., procedural justice and job security)
- Individual-related factors (e.g., commitment propensity — mediated by thoughts of quitting)
