Realistic Expectations as an Aid in Reducing Voluntary Resignations

Daniel R. Ilgen and William Seely

Chapter 12 in Psychology and Industrial Productivity, 1981, pp 181-187 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Realistic information about a situation into which new organisational members were about to enter was presented to the new members after they had decided to join the organisation, but before they reported to the organisation. When compared to a control group which received no such information, the experimental group showed significantly lower turnover. The results are discussed in reference to the functions served by realistic job information available to new members after they have accepted a position with an organisation.
