Job Turnover

Job Turnover refers to the rate at which employees leave and are replaced within an organization. This movement can be voluntary, such as resignations for career advancement or personal reasons, or involuntary, including layoffs or terminations. High job turnover rates can indicate issues such as poor job satisfaction, inadequate compensation, or unhealthy workplace culture. Conversely, moderate turnover can bring fresh skills and perspectives to a company. In sociology, job turnover is studied to understand labor market dynamics, organizational behavior, and the factors influencing employee retention. Analyzing job turnover rates helps sociologists identify patterns of inequality, as marginalized groups may face higher turnover due to discrimination or lack of support. It is also important for evaluating the economic impacts on both workers and organizations, influencing policies for improved work environments.
