In this project I will research, analyze and summarize previous studies completed
on staff turnover amongst government employees. I will then develop a Survey and
distribute it to state employees utilizing a small sample set of correctional employees for the
State of Wisconsin. The survey and its questions were designed to evaluate the effect Act 10 and
its components have on an employee's thoughts and feelings about their current work status. It was
also designed to study the effect it has on their motivation to continue with their current career,
seek a different career within government and/or switch careers and leaving government employment
all together. I will compare the survey responses from state employees with the information
collected from past literature studies. The results will help support my hypothesis that the Act 10
Legislation was more
effective in increasing staff turnover than it was at influencing staff retention.
