Abstract

The separation of efficient and experienced employees may lead to substantial losses for an organization. Regarding direct and indirect costs of employee separation and the importance of employee role on an organization's performance, this research proposes a novel Employee Separation Management (ESM) model with a focus on public organizations by using a mixed approach. Therefore, in this practical-exploratory research, data were collected through interviews and questionnaires. In the qualitative phase, 18 semi-structured interview rounds have been carried out with experts and managers of presidential administration by using the Snowball sampling method and the conceptual framework of the ESM model has been developed based on a thematic analysis. In the quantitative phase, after determining the statistical sample size by using the "Hair" method, 200 questionnaires were distributed among the statistical population and the proposed model has been validated based on the Structural Equation Modeling using the partial least squares approach. Environmental conditions, strategies, organizational, and contextual factors as well as behavioral aspects and human resource functions are found to be the key dimensions of the ESM model that may have individual, organizational, and social impacts. With a GOF value of 0.772, the Structural Equation Modeling indicates validity and strong modeling fit for the outcomes of the proposed model.
