近年來有關員工離職的研究漸增，因為適度的員工離職行為可幫助企業組織新陳代謝，有助業績的提升，而員工也可累積不同的工作經驗，從工作中增長知能，有利職涯的發展。然而，若員工離職率偏高，則會對企業組織造成許多負面的影響，帶來許多隱藏的不可見成本，也會對顧客滿意度、忠誠度造成影響，對個人而言也造成職涯不安定感。而觀光餐旅業由於其工作特性，使得員工的離職率較其他行業來得高。因此，員工的異動一直是近年來觀光餐旅業經營上所面臨的最大的壓力之一，也是觀光餐旅研究方面的熱門議題。 本研究目的包括： 1.使用內容分析法，探討近十年來國內觀光餐旅業員工離職傾向之研究成效。 2.依據對學位論文之研究結果的分析，歸納國內觀光餐旅業員工離職傾向之重要影響因素。3.分析近十年來國內觀光餐旅業員工離職傾向研究的理論運用情形。 4.依據本研究結果，對後續研究提出具體建議。 本研究蒐集國內近十多年來有關觀光餐旅業員工離職傾向的學位論文，共計 15篇，針對論文的研究背景、研究相關特徵、樣本特性、研究工具、資料處理方式、理論的使用情形等進行後設的內容分析，並與國外研究結果作一比較，並提出建議，期能對後續研究有所啟示。
