Unemployment, job satisfaction, and employee turnover: A meta-analytic test of the Muchinsky model.

We conducted a meta-analysis to determine the relation between satisfaction-turnover correlations across studies and unemployment rates at the time those studies were conducted. On the basis of theoretical work by Muchinsky and Morrow (1980), we hypothesized that low relations would be found in stud
