Abstract
Based on the construct of "partial inclusion", it was hypothesized that the turnover of full-time employees would be best explained by job-related reasons and that of part-time employees by non job-related reasons. To test these hypotheses, data were collected from 1558 part-time and 640 full-time persons who voluntarily quit their jobs. With the exception of three items dealing with work schedules, the results tended to support the hypotheses. These results were discussed with regard to the management of turnover within full-time and part-time employee groups and the importance of continued research aimed at identifying company controllable factors whih influence the turnover decisions among part-time employees.
