What is one outcome of successful attraction-selection-attrition?

One significant outcome of successful attraction-selection-attrition is a stronger organizational culture. This process, often referred to as ASA, helps organizations to effectively align their workforce with their core values and mission.

When organizations attract candidates whose values and behaviors align with the existing culture, and when they select individuals based on their fit with that culture, it enhances cohesion and a sense of belonging among employees. Furthermore, attrition plays a role in naturally guiding out individuals who do not fit, which further solidifies the desired culture. As a result, this creates an environment where employees are more likely to share common goals and values, leading to a more unified workplace. A strong organizational culture can contribute to improved teamwork, higher morale, and overall better organizational performance.

Contrastingly, outcomes such as higher employee turnover, less employee engagement, and decreased job satisfaction often arise when there is a mismatch between employees and the organizational culture. This mismatch can lead to discontent, lack of motivation, and ultimately higher attrition rates, which undermines the very essence of a strong organizational culture.
