| Abstract: |
Twenty-one secondary industry organizations were ranked on the basis of labour turnover rates for two successive years. Despite large variations in the level of rates over time, rankings showed a high degree of constancy. It is suggested that there are relatively stable organizational characteristics which determine a recurrent pattern of labour wastage and which are relatively powerful compared with such factors as race. The need to separate individual, organizational and economic factors in labour turnover is stressed, and assumptions regarding the prediction of turnover are questioned. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
