Abstract:
This study looks into a predictive model to ascertain the turnover of Generation 'X' and 'Y' employees. Based on Erving Goffman's frame analysis theory, three key factors such as the nature of working styles, social values and the personal values have been identified as influencing factors. The impact of these factors on workplace behavior in terms of intention to leave or remain with the organization has been tested using responses of 297 employees. The data were collected using a survey questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Binary Logistic Regression and the Neural Network Analysis to ensure the level of accuracy in Predictive Analysis of Generation X and Y. It was found that differences in characteristics and behavior between the two Generations lead to a higher turnover rate in Generation 'Y' than in Generation 'X'. Moreover, the researchers predicted data related to retention and intention to leave of the two Generations based on the sample.

Leaving Groups
In general, in a nucleophilic substitution reaction, a nucleophile displaces a functional group, called the leaving group, from the substrate to give a substituted product. A leaving group departs the substrate molecule through heterolytic cleavage, taking the pair of electrons with it to become a relatively stable weak base in the form of an anion or a neutral molecule.
