Analysis of Employees'Turnover Paths in Manufacturing Enterprises under the Background of Replacing Labor with Machine
How enterprises leverage the new trend of replacing labor with machines to reduce labor costs and improve employee stability has become a major issue in the field of human resource management.This article adopts a configurational perspective and conducts a qualitative comparative analysis of 195 employees who have undergone replacing labor with machines in their respective departments.Six paths to turnover intention and five paths to retain are identified.Employee turnover intention is the result of the combined effects of structural,individual,and environmental factors.To reduce the problem of turnover,managers should carefully design seven anteced-ent conditions,including employee workload,salary,job content,education level,job insecurity,external job opportunities,and the threat of being substituted by machines,and reduce employee turnover intention through the combination of the above factors.
