Abstract: Shocks are particular, jarring events that initiate the psychological decision processes involved in quitting a job. To reveal the shock influence on voluntary turnover, researchers analyzed the relationships between different shock dimensions, and explored the associations between shock dimensions and decision paths. The results showed a significant shock effect on voluntary turnover. However, further researches about shocks should be taken forward at least in four aspects, such as the definition, the approaches, the researching objects and the study for indigenization.

Key words: shocks, voluntary turnover, turnover factor, the unfolding model
