Despite the prevalence of research on the consequences of collective turnover (TO), we lack an understanding of how, when, and why changes in the external environment influence collective turnover. The present study extends context emergent turnover and threat-rigidity theories to consider temporal changes in rates of collective turnover brought on by an external disruption. We also conduct variance decomposition to evaluate the relative influence of internal and external factors on collective turnover and examine how changes in the external environment impact relative influences. Finally, we examine the role of collective engagement in explaining patterns of collective turnover over time. Our study is based on a large, geographically dispersed U.S. firm. Findings from a two-phase longitudinal model reveal that rates of collective turnover change over time in ways that are predictable from threat-rigidity theory. Variance decomposition analysis finds that internal store-level factors explain substantially more variance than external factors, but the balance changes in response to an external disruption. We also show that collective engagement can mitigate increases in collective turnover. Results inform theory regarding the relative importance of internal versus external factors in influencing collective turnover and provide a framework for predicting how contextual change in the external environment impacts collective turnover over time.

随着时间的推移，环境如何影响集体流动：内部因素与外部因素的相对影响。


尽管关于集体离职（TO）后果的研究很普遍，但我们对外部环境的变化如何、何时以及为何影响集体离职缺乏了解。本研究扩展了环境紧急流动和威胁刚性理论，以考虑外部干扰引起的集体流动率的时间变化。我们还进行方差分解来评估内部和外部因素对集体营业额的相对影响，并考察外部环境的变化如何影响相对影响。最后，我们研究了集体参与在解释集体流动模式随时间变化方面的作用。我们的研究基于一家地理分散的大型美国公司。两阶段纵向模型的研究结果表明，集体流动率随着时间的推移而变化，其变化方式可以根据威胁刚性理论进行预测。方差分解分析发现，商店内部因素比外部因素解释的方差要多得多，但平衡会因外部干扰而发生变化。我们还表明，集体参与可以缓解集体营业额的增加。研究结果为有关内部因素与外部因素在影响集体流动率方面的相对重要性的理论提供了依据，并提供了一个框架来预测外部环境的背景变化如何随着时间的推移影响集体流动率。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
