The Temporal Model: Combining Job Embeddedness with the Unfolding Model to Reduce Voluntary Employee Turnover in Law Firms ()
ABSTRACT
Employee turnover presents a significant challenge
for employers, especially in the demanding legal sector, where it can cost up
to a third of an employee’s annual salary and pose substantial risks to firms.
While prior research has focused on the unfolding model to explain employee
departures, the critical role of job embeddedness has often been overlooked.
This paper introduces the temporal model, merging the unfolding model and job
embeddedness to comprehensively address turnover throughout an employee’s
journey in a law firm, from recruitment to tenure and exit. Additionally, this
study reviews effective strategies that law firms can implement at any
employment stage to mitigate turnover.
