In-Sue Oh and colleagues explore how emotional stability moderates the relationship between job performance and voluntary turnover. Analyzing multi-wave, time-lagged data, they find that emotionally stable employees are less likely to leave, regardless of performance level, while neurotic employees are more turnover-prone, particularly at high or low performance extremes. Their study highlights the stabilizing role of emotional stability in workforce retention, offering insights for organizations on integrating personality assessments into HR practices to enhance employee retention and mitigate turnover-related disruptions.
