title What are the Effects of Turnover on Team Performance?
abstract Previous research on employee turnover and organizational performance can generally be grouped into two competing or conflicting views: one that focuses on the negative effects of employee turnover and another that emphasizes the positive benefits for the organization. Using official NHL statistics from eleven seasons (2008/09- 2018/19), this thesis examines whether player turnover adversely affects team performance measured in regular season win percentage. Pooled correlation analysis indicates a weak to moderate negative association between player turnover and team win percentage, while case study analysis of a subsample of teams suggests that team management may play a significant role in moderating the effect of turnover and explain why teams with similar rates of player turnover do not experience similar outcomes in terms of win percentage.
