"claim": {
"hypothesis": "Higher overall job satisfaction is associated with a lower likelihood that a federal employee intends to leave, including intentions to move to another job within the federal government.",
"hypothesis_location": "Findings section under “Workplace Satisfaction Factors,” where the authors summarize that overall job satisfaction reduces turnover intention “across the board,” including intentions to leave one’s agency for another federal job.",
"statement": "In the model predicting intention to leave one’s agency for another position within the federal government, overall job satisfaction is negatively and statistically significantly associated with leaving intention. The estimated coefficient for job satisfaction is -0.444 with a clustered robust standard error of 0.0163, significant at the 1% level (two-tailed test).",

"sample_size": "217504 observations.",
"unit_of_analysis": "Individual federal employee.",
"access_details": "not stated",
"notes": "Turnover intention is measured using a survey question about whether the employee is considering leaving their organization within the next year and why. The focal outcome (“Leaving Agency”) is coded 1 if the employee intends to leave their agency for another job within the federal government and 0 otherwise. The job satisfaction measure is based on the item asking how satisfied the respondent is with their job overall on a five-point scale."

"method": {
"description": "The study estimates logistic regression models to examine how overall job satisfaction and other factors relate to two forms of turnover intention among U.S. federal employees, focusing here on intention to leave one’s agency for another job within the federal government.",
"steps": [
"Use 2006 FHCS survey data on U.S. federal employees.",
"Construct the dependent variable “Leaving Agency” as a dichotomous indicator for intending to leave one’s agency for another federal job within the next year.",
"Measure overall job satisfaction using the survey item asking overall satisfaction with one’s job.",
"Include additional predictors spanning demographic factors, workplace satisfaction factors, and organizational/relational factors as specified in the model.",
"Estimate a logistic regression model for “Leaving Agency” with robust standard errors clustered by agency."
