Efficiency wage theory research suggests that higher wages are related to lower voluntary and involuntary turnover, with different rationales for each type of turnover. Data from 379 multinational enterprises (22 different countries), and 570 domestic Mexico organizations showed that discretionary economic benefits reduced voluntary and involuntary turnover. Discretionary economic benefits were more effective in retail/hospitality. The parent-country-culture (PCC) of firms moderated the influence of discretionary economic benefits on reducing involuntary turnover. When PCC was low on Future Orientation or low on In-group Collectivism, then the positive impact of discretionary economic benefits on reducing involuntary employee turnover was enhanced.
