How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This study empirically analyzed the interaction mechanisms among overqualification, work alienation, employment relationship atmosphere, and employees' turnover intention. Data were collected from 327 employees of 54 technology, design, and manufacturing companies in China. Results of hierarchical linear modeling revealed that overqualification was positively correlated with employees' turnover intention and that work alienation mediated this relationship. Further, the atmosphere of the employment relationship was negatively correlated with employees' turnover intention, and employment relationship atmosphere moderated the link between overqualification and employees' turnover intention. This study enriches understanding of human resource management theory and may provide a reference for managers to improve the efficiency of human resources.
