What is it about?

Turnover and turnover intentions (TOI) appear to be important variables for study in sales management.

Why is it important?

The study contributed to the sales management literature by identifying the key demographic variables that can have an effect on sales employee’s turnover intentions. Results indicated that sales employee intent to leave an organisation is associated with both work (hierarchy and annual salary) as well as family related domains (marital status, presence of children). Implications of these findings are discussed.
