Resumo
A rotatividade voluntária de empregados revela-se dicotômica. Embora promova inovação e renovação estrutural, também acarreta disfunções como perda de capital social e elevados custos de recrutamento. Por meio de uma revisão qualitativa da literatura, apresentada como um ensaio teórico, este estudo explora esse fenômeno. As reflexões principais incentivam os gestores a considerar a rotatividade como um indicador estratégico com múltiplas dimensões e impactos duplos. O estudo propõe pesquisas futuras para examinar simultaneamente os efeitos positivos e negativos desse fenômeno e, subsequentemente, para investigar o papel moderador das taxas de rotatividade e das variações no nível hierárquico dos funcionários que se demitiram.
