Zusammenfassung: | Abstract Staff turnover has become a growing concern of organizational research, yelding many predictive models worldwide. One promising model is the Turnover and Attachment Motives Survey (TAMS). This study aimed to adapt and validate the TAMS to the Brazilian organizational context, and ensure that the universality claim of the theory remains true. Participants were 523 Brazilian professionals occupying a range of positions in diverse companies. Their ages ranged between 24 and 54 years (M = 34.2, SD = 7.17), and they were predominantly men (57.7%). Results provided evidence of internal consistency, convergent, divergent, and predictive validity, advocating on behalf of TAMS as a tool for more adequately understanding and managing turnover intention and its antecedents among employees. Despite being a promising measure, we suggest the necessity for further investigation and improvement, in future studies, of some of TAMS' subscales, such as normative and constituent forces.
Resumen El turnover de profesionales se ha convertido en preocupación creciente de investigaciones organizacionales, generando muchos modelos predictivos por el mundo. Un modelo prometedor es el Inventario de Motivos para Retención y Turnover (TAMS). Este estudio buscó adaptar y validar el TAMS para el contexto organizacional brasileño, y verificar si la afirmación acerca de la universalidad de este modelo sigue siendo verdadera. Participaron 523 profesionales brasileños, predominantemente hombres (57,7%) en diferentes posiciones y empresas, con edades entre 24 y 54 años (M = 34,2, DE = 7,17). Los resultados evidencian la consistencia interna, validez convergente, divergente y predictiva, señalando el TAMS como inventario capaz de comprender y gestionar mejor la intención de rotatividad y sus antecedentes. A pesar de una medida prometedora, nuestros resultados muestran la necesidad de, en estudios futuros, investigar y mejorar algunas de las subescalas de TAMS, especialmente fuerzas normativas y constituyentes, para que sean más representativas de la realidad brasileña.
