From results of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) administered to staff of social welfare facilities, this study sought to understand their personality tendencies, and to examine early job turnover. Study subjects were 35 staff members of social welfare facilities (hereafter, the "study group"), all female, with an average age of 19.7 years (SD=2.3 years) and average period of employment of 4.8 years (SD=2.3 years). The study group was divided into two sub-groups: the turnover sub-group composed of 11 persons who quit after an average of 2.3 years (average age: 18.7 years, SD=1.0 year), and the stayer sub-group composed of 24 persons who stayed employed and whose average period of employment was 6.2 years (average age: 19.7 years, SD=2.2 years). For each subgroup, MMPI results were analyzed. Compared to a control group of ordinary female students reported in previous studies, the study group showed significant differences, with low scores on the CS scale and high scores of the L and K scales. Concerning the clinical scales, the study group showed significantly lower scores on the Hs, D, and Si scales. The coefficients of variation (CV) of their scores also tended to be small. Regarding comparisons between the turnover sub-group and the stayer sub-group, significantly higher scores on the L and D scales were observed in the turnover sub-group. The CVs of the turnover subgroup for all the validity scales and the D, Hy, Pd, Pa, Sc, and Ma clinical scales were small. These findings suggest that the study group subjects might have deliberately tried to make "a good impression," and the turnover sub-group had limited differences among individuals and were likely to have self-defensive personalities. Relationships between the personality findings and job turnover are discussed.
