Tuition Reimbursement, Perceived Organizational Support, and Turnover Intention among Graduate Business School Students
Pattie, Marshall; Benson, George S.; Baruch, Yehuda
Human Resource Development Quarterly, v17 n4 p423-442 Win 2006
Recent research has shown that while tuition reimbursement is generally associated with employee retention, employees may be more inclined to switch jobs when they earn graduate degrees. This article investigates the relationship between employees currently receiving tuition reimbursement and intention to leave the organization. Analysis of survey data from 322 employed graduate students shows that receiving tuition reimbursement is positively related to perceived organizational support, which reduces turnover intention. However, employees working toward degrees unrelated to their current jobs express greater intention to leave the organization, which increases as they near graduation.
