BUSINESS RESEARCH21.Variables in the study and How they are definedSekaran and Bougie (2016) categorizes variables into dependent, independent, moderating, mediating. After reading the journal article, it is clear that Smith, Oczkowski andSelby-Smith (2011) theoretical framework covers two dependent variables – the employee turnover and the level of confidence to retain high levels of skills. For example, they defines employee turnover as a percentage annual average for a period of three years. They also defined skill retention as the degree at which organisations understudy are able to utilise skills of employees and consequently, achieve long-term goals. Apart from the dependent variables, Smith, et al. also used independent variables to influence dependent variables either positively or negatively. In essence, the study sought to examine drivers that enhance a high level of employee turnover and skill retention among employees working in more than 300 Australian companies. The authors selected three independent variables that they believed could help achieve-high performance work in organisations under study. In specific, they focused on management philosophies that associated with higher performance; lea production (LP), total quality management (TQM), and learning orientation (LO). Smith, et al. defined LP as a number of activities that takes place within an organisation that management use to create and enhance knowledge among employees. Consequently, management use these activities when they understand that they are operating in a dynamic market where competitive advantage remains important in achieving long-term goals. Second, they defined TQM as a management philosophy that helps an organisation to continue recording positive performance through different processes, products and services. Besides, they adopted items used by other researchers.
