The author surveys some of the recent theoretical and empirical contributions to job attachment or, conversely, job turnover and explores the theoretical developments in search models of worker behavior. This is followed by a discussion of current labor market models of the firm with stress on firm turnover behavior in the presence of specific human capital and incomplete information. The recent literature introducing uncertainty into the firm- worker interaction is also reviewed. A number of important empirical studies of turnover behavior are examined. Most of these studies are only vaguely guided by current theory.
