A Test of Ghiselli's "Hobo Syndrome" Working Paper 92-38, Center for Advanced Human Resource Studies, School of Industrial and Labor Relations, Cornell University, 1992. Also: http://econpapers.repec.org/paper/fthcorirl/92-38.htm Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Center for Advanced Human Resource Studies, Cornell University Keyword(s): Census of Population; Event History; Job Tenure; Job Turnover; Modeling, Hazard/Event History/Survival/Duration; Work History Ghiselli (1974) observed that some workers possess internal impulses to migrate from one job to another irrespective of better alternatives or other apparently rational motives. Ghiselli labeled this tendency the "hobo syndrome." The present study tested the validity of the hobo syndrome using a national longitudinal sample of young workers. Results of event history analyses indicated support for the hypothesis that turnover depends on the number of times an individual has left his or her job in the past. Implications of the results are discussed. |
