Abstract

This 13-month field study explores the phenomenon of job-switching behavior and attempts to isolate some of the critical variables associated with job switching in autonomous work groups. Results indicate that age and job status are strong influences on job switching. Job switching correlated negatively with job satisfaction and positively with absenteeism, feedback, task identity, and hazard.
