Despite extensive turnover research, there is little information on whether people's perceived job quality actually improves as a function of turnover. Using data from people who stayed with the job, who changed jobs, or who changed employers, this study examined the relative validity of three theoretical frameworks regarding the impact of turnover on perceived job quality. The results, although not overwhelming, provided tentative support for dispositional arguments; people tended to retain similar attitudes regardless of actual job quality.
