Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify the primary factors, which keep Turkish white-collar employees at their current positions. Using a convenience sampling method, surveys were conducted with 29 full-time white-collar employees in different sectors—predominantly in higher education, banking, and IT research and development. The primary factors keeping employees at their positions were dominantly motivators such as the work itself, achievement, responsibility, appreciation and recognition. Moreover, employees are more likely to be willing to stay longer at their positions, if it is rather motivators keeping them there.
