Can Social Networks Predict Whether an Employee Will Quit?

Social networks have proven the ability to provide a wide range of fascinating insights into our behaviors and moods. Might they also provide insight into whether we're likely to quit our job? That was the question posed by a recent study from the University of Exeter, which aimed to build upon previous work that shows how people with large social networks at work are less likely to resign than colleagues with smaller networks. Do the changes in how we engage with our network provide similar insights?

It finds that the size of our network may, in fact, be a false friend and that there is a clear trend in the type of networks — and the type of behavior within them — among people planning to jump ship.
