Organizational Identification and Planned Organizational Departure: Why the Emergence of Millennial Workers Contributes to the Need for Research

• In Event: Scholar to Scholar VI

Abstract

Having received little attention by organizational scholars, it is important to develop a better understanding of the organizational exit phase. Connecting organizational identification, socialization and planned exit, I argue that Millennials’ entrance into the workforce contributes to the need for research. With more turnover expected, in part due to Millennials’ job-hopping, I offer theoretical and practical implications, as we further develop theoretical understanding of the relationship between organizational identification and exit, and organizations practically benefit.
