Hiring, training, and retaining the hard-core unemployed: A selected review

Abstract

Reviews studies concerning the hiring, training, and retaining of the hard-core unemployed. Evidence indicates that the characteristics of the hard-core unemployed (e.g., age, sex, and marital status) and the characteristics of the supervisory and counseling roles and their occupants are related to turnover. Although training does not seem to affect the propensity to terminate, it does have both functional and dysfunctional effects on work attitudes. Job structure, pay level, and other organizational variables are related to turnover. (38 ref) (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
