Thesis (Ph.D.)--York University (Canada), 1992.

The present research study was devoted exclusively to an examination of part-time turnover which has been largely ignored by the organizational behaviour literature. Taking significant associations reported in turnover models such as March and Simon (1958), Price (1977), Mobley (1977) and Jackofsky (1984), a model framework was developed to test hypotheses associated with part-time turnover.

520 $a The present research study was devoted exclusively to an examination of part-time turnover which has been largely ignored by the organizational behaviour literature. Taking significant associations reported in turnover models such as March and Simon (1958), Price (1977), Mobley (1977) and Jackofsky (1984), a model framework was developed to test hypotheses associated with part-time turnover.
520 $a The model framework consisted of 5 main clusters of independent variables which were hypothesized to cause variation in turnover indirectly through intentions to quit. The 5 variables clusters were: (1) Individual job performance; (2) Push (internal); (3) Pull (external); (4) Individual characteristics; and (5) Reasons for joining the militia. The dependent variable of turnover was defined in two different ways for the study: (1) The traditional method of differentiating stayers from leavers; and (2) 'change in level of individual commitment' over a one year time period following questionnaire administration.
520 $a This dual definition of turnover proved insightful. Although 75 of the 412 (18.2%) male, non-commissioned soldiers studied had left the militia within the 1 year period following questionnaire administration, a great many (169 or 41%) were in the process of withdrawing from the organization and were characterized by declining commitment. It was clear that in the part-time militia context, withdrawal behaviour became a very real alternative to turnover as the nature of work permitted flexibility in terms of organizational membership and participation. Part-time soldiers were able to withdraw almost totally from the organization without having to express intentions to quit.
520 $a Overall, the findings suggest that part-time turnover in the Canadian army reserves is driven by Pull 'external' and individual characteristic factors, differing substantially from the predominantly internal (Push) process reported for full-time samples. For this reason, a number of the important constructs of full-time turnover models (e.g. intentions to quit, job satisfaction) are of little utility in explaining variation in militia turnover. For the part-time soldier, it appears that there is a notable separation of attitudes from actual behaviour, an interesting and significant finding which is in need of further research testing.
