520 $a The problem of staff turnover in the human service field is described in detail. Literature is presented attesting to the adverse effects associated with turnover, notably: increased expenditures, reduced morale, postponement or abandonment of new projects, and inadequate service provision.
520 $a A model which attempts to understand direct-care human service staff turnover is proposed and tested. Two hundred and thirty-six direct-care staff in nine private, non-profit New Jersey agencies participated in the study. Each participant was employed in a community group home for adults with mental retardation. Turnover data (stability rate) were collected six months after the measures were taken.
520 $a A path analysis of the data was conducted, and the relationships among the fifteen variables in the model are presented.
520 $a In this study, four variables were found to contribute to current job satisfaction: agreement of the job with personal goals and values, burnout, satisfaction with supervision, and employment history. In turn, current job satisfaction was found to contribute to intention to quit. Finally, intention to quit was found to contribute to actual turnover. Age and tenure did not relate significantly to any of the variables in this study. Moreover, the employee's satisfaction with pay and benefits did not contribute to the explanation of current job satisfaction or turnover in the present study. The degree to which these findings may be the result of methodological and statistical constraints is explored.
520 $a Limitations of the study and interpretations of the results are presented in detail. Possible implications for the human service field are explored along with a discussion of issues that may effect the interpretation and generalizability of the results.
