Employee turnover and strategies for retention
No full textIn this chapter, we seek to help researchers and practitioners develop a comprehensive understanding of turnover and retention by synthesizing the most prominent theories, studies and models that have emerged over the past 50 years. In the first section, we trace the evolution of turnover and retention research, showing how scholars have progressively expanded their focus over the past five decades. In the second section, we present a unifying framework of the dynamic process of turnover that integrates the major factors in an employee’s decision to quit. In the third section we highlight evidence‐based strategies for managing turnover and retention within organizations. Finally, we highlight directions for future research

Get PDFO presente estudo tem como objetivo comparar o conhecimento prévio que homens e
mulheres detém sobre a RM, tal como, a ansiedade que experienciam antes e depois da
realização deste exame radiológico. Pretende ainda, analisar a relação das duas variáveis
com a idade e a escolaridade dos pacientes. Os dados foram recolhidos através das subescalas
de ansiedade e stress da Escala de Ansiedade, Depressão e Stress (EADS; Pais-

exame de RM, com idades entre os 18 e os 86 anos. Realizaram-se comparações de
médias, com de t-Student e a análises de correlações, através dos coeficientes de Pearson
e de Spearman. Os resultados evidenciaram diferenças de género significativas face à
ansiedade percebida antes e depois da RM. Relativamente ao conhecimento prévio, não
se verificaram diferenças significativas. Quanto à idade e à escolaridade dos pacientes,
também se verificaram diferenças significativas, mas apenas na ansiedade percebida
depois de RM; The effect of gender and information provided by the physician about MRI on
patient's perceived anxiety
Abstract:
The present study aims to compare the prior knowledge that men and women have about
MRI, such as the anxiety they experience before and after performing this radiological
exam. It also intends to analyze the relationship of the two variables with the age and
education of patients. Data were collected using the anxiety and stress subscales of the
Anxiety, Depression and Stress Scale (EADS; Pais-Ribeiro et al., 2004), previously
validated for the hospital context by Semedo et al. (2020). A total of 149 patients, who
were undergoing an MRI examination for the first time, aged between 18 and 86 years,
participated in this study. Comparisons of means, with t-Student and analysis of
correlations, using Pearson and Spearman coefficients were performed. The results
showed gender differences relevant to the anxiety perceived before and after MR.
Regarding prior knowledge, there were no relative differences. As for the age and
education of patients, there were also differences, but only in the anxiety perceived after
MRI

A relação entre a ansiedade em pacientes submetidos a exame de ressonância magnética e a perceção de qualidade de serviço
Get PDFO objetivo desta investigação foi analisar a relação entre os níveis de ansiedade percebida em indivíduos que realizaram exame de ressonância magnética e a qualidade de serviço percebida. O estudo envolveu uma amostra de 119 participantes que se dirigiram ao Serviço de Radiologia para realizar o referido exame. Foram aplicadas as subescalas de Ansiedade e Stress da DASS (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995), adaptadas por Semedo, Diniz & Herédia (submitted) e a escala ServPerf (Cronin & Taylor, 1992). Primeiramente procedeu-se à realização da Análise Fatorial Exploratória, resultando na obtenção de quatro fatores, três semelhantes aos de Parasuraman e colegas (1985) - Empatia, Tangibilidade e Confiança – e um outro que agregou - Capacidade de resposta e Garantia. Os resultados demonstraram relações negativas, não significativas, entre a ansiedade e a qualidade de serviço percebida e as dimensões acima mencionadas. Foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significativas no que concerne à perceção de qualidade de serviço em função do nível de escolaridade; Abstract:
The objective of this investigation was to analyze the relationship between perceived anxiety levels and perceived quality of service in individuals who underwent magnetic resonance imaging. The study involved a sample of 119 participants who went to the Radiology Department to perform the examination. The DASS Anxiety and Stress subscales (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995), adapted by Semedo, Diniz and Herédia (submitted) and the ServPerf scale (Cronin & Taylor, 1992) were applied. Firstly, we performed an Exploratory Factor Analysis, resulting in four factors, three of them similar to those of Parasuraman and colleagues (1985) - Empathy, Tangibility and Confidence – and another one which added - Responsiveness and Guarantee. Results demonstrated statistically non-significant negative correlations between anxiety and perceived quality of service (general measure) and the dimensions mentioned above. Statistically significant differences were found regarding the perception of quality of service according to schooling level

Cluster analysis was performed.Results: Cluster analysis produced eight clusters based on the different configurations of leadership dimensions, namely coercive, centralizer, false paternalistic, toxic role model, coach, narcissistic-empowering, toxic, and empowering. Those clusters relate differently to work motivation dimensions.Conclusion: The profiles with higher scores in empowering leadership dimensions are more generally related to autonomous regulation (identified and intrinsic work motivation). The profiles with higher toxic leadership dimensions are more related to amotivation and controlled regulation (extrinsic work motivation). One profile stood out: the narcissistic-empowering profile that combines high scores in narcissistic leadership and empowering leadership dimensions. This profile unexpectedly relates significantly to autonomous regulation. This study contributed to the knowledge of the work motivation dimensions concerning empowerment and toxic leadership. Therefore, it contributes to deepening the nomological network of the concepts and providing inputs to human resource processes suitable to improving the organizational results and the workers’ quality of life.Keywords: leadership profiles, narcissistic-empowering leaders, Empowering Leadership Questionnaire, Toxic Leadership Scale, Multidimensional Work Motivation Scal
