Since the beginning of Covid-19 in 2020, the United States labor market has been experiencing a large number of voluntary terminations causing the phenomenon known as the Great Resignation. This work aims to understand the type of workers willingly leaving their jobs and their motives through human resource theories, including the Self-Concordance model and the Jobs Demands-Resource model. This will be done by analyzing current labor market data from the public and private sectors and investigating the two theoretical models. The research is applied with the formation of a questionnaire with the purpose of helping identify the reasons why the respondents chose to leave their former workplaces and to identify the root causes for them to change their personal career choices. The questionnaire results are then used for empirical research to model regression models explaining the reasons for voluntary terminations. The results from the empirical research can be used as a guide for companies to help respond to the Great Resignation and better prepare for other extreme events in a post-Covid-19 world.

Abstract

Since the beginning of Covid-19 in 2020, the United States labor market has been experiencing a large number of voluntary terminations causing the phenomenon known as the Great Resignation. This work aims to understand the type of workers willingly leaving their jobs and their motives through human resource theories, including the Self-Concordance model and the Jobs Demands-Resource model. This will be done by analyzing current labor market data from the public and private sectors and investigating the two theoretical models. The research is applied with the formation of a questionnaire with the purpose of helping identify the reasons why the respondents chose to leave their former workplaces and to identify the root causes for them to change their personal career choices. The questionnaire results are then used for empirical research to model regression models explaining the reasons for voluntary terminations. The results from the empirical research can be used as a guide for companies to help respond to the Great Resignation and better prepare for other extreme events in a post-Covid-19 world.

The Great Resignation in the United States of America: the Effects on Individuals and Companies
Since the beginning of Covid-19 in 2020, the United States labor market has been experiencing a large number of voluntary terminations causing the phenomenon known as the Great Resignation. This work aims to understand the type of workers willingly leaving their jobs and their motives through human resource theories, including the Self-Concordance model and the Jobs Demands-Resource model. This will be done by analyzing current labor market data from the public and private sectors and investigating the two theoretical models. The research is applied with the formation of a questionnaire with the purpose of helping identify the reasons why the respondents chose to leave their former workplaces and to identify the root causes for them to change their personal career choices. The questionnaire results are then used for empirical research to model regression models explaining the reasons for voluntary terminations. The results from the empirical research can be used as a guide for companies to help respond to the Great Resignation and better prepare for other extreme events in a post-Covid-19 world.
