Abstract: Abstract Fewer works in turnover literature has tried to condense the disparate researches and unearth the core constructs and original theories behind the turnover models. The current works present a brief account of evolution of turnover models from inception to the present years along with finding their core constructs acknowledging base theories they have originated from. Major turnover models that has shaped the cumulative literature today has been identified and discussed chronologically in brief for their importance and limitations. Most of turnover models are dominated by the theories of attitude, motivation and decision. While almost all traditional core turnover models are attitude centric, the modern turnover models are radically different, more complex and comprehensive and use attitudes differently. The current work presents a summarised account of the vast and diverse turnover literature, which will provide researchers useful insights on identifying core constructs and theoretical origin of various turnover models and trends in the turnover research. The current work also creates a summary of various determinants of turnover that evolved over years along with a hypothesised model of employee turnover.
