Abstract
Recent articles concerned with the (dis)utility of turnover have refocused attention on the relation between ability and turnover. Jackofsky and Peters (1983) have presented a model of the turnover process that hypothesizes that ability has an indirect effect on turnover through the intervening variables of ease of movement, desirability of movement, and intention to quit, and the moderator variable of task complexity. This study failed to support the hypotheses based on the model. Ability appeared to have a direct, negative association with turnover, and task complexity showed no moderating effect on either desirability of movement or turnover.
