Abstract
This paper investigates the relationship between workforce stability and selected attributes of farm enterprises, farm operators and hired workers on tobacco farms in Southern Ontario. Two empirical measures are used to represent workforce stability. The labour turnover rate relates the total number of workers hired in a given production period to the total number of employment positions that exist during the period. The early termination rate expresses the number of workers in a specified group who quit early as a percentage of the total number of workers in that group. The analysis, confined to the harvest period, reveals that workforce stability does not vary randomly, and that factors relating to worker selection and personnel management have the greatest impacts on worker turnover.
