Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this resarch is to examine not only the "on-the-job-components" that trigger for employee turnover, but also the "off-the-job-components."
The main findings was that even after controlling the effects of "on-the-job-components," personal factors such as "personal debt" and "views of job change," had significant impacts on employee turnover. In additon, it was confirmed that the influence of personal factors differ according to age. These results suggest that the need to take care of the "off-the-job-components" to prevent employee turnover.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の結果から、従業員の離職において「仕事上の要因（on-the-job-components）」だけでなく「仕事外の要因（off-the-job-components）」も影響を与えることが確認された。具体的には、「経済的な負債の有無」や「転職観」などの私的要因が、従業員の離職行動に影響を与えることが明らかとなった。これまで、企業は従業員の離職を防ぐために「職務満足」、「給与・待遇」、「職場の人間関係」など、仕事上の要因に注意を払ってきたが、今後は仕事外の要因にも目を向ける必要がある。また、年代によっても離職要因が異なることが確認されたため、年齢に応じたサポートをしていくことが重要である。
