Abstract: This study proposed to address a new method that could select subsets more efficiently. In addition, the reasons why employers voluntarily turnover were also investigated in order to increase the classification accuracy and to help managers to prevent employers¡¦ turnover. The mixed feature subset selection used in this study combined Taguchi method and Nearest Neighbor Classification Rules to select feature subset and analyze the factors to find the best predictor of employer turnover. All the samples used in this study were from industry A, in which the employers left their job during 1st of February, 2001 to 31st of December, 2007, compared with those incumbents. The results showed that through the mixed feature subset selection method, total 18 factors were found that are important to the employers. In addition, the accuracy of correct selection was 87.85% which was higher than before using this feature subset selection method (80.93%). The new feature subs!
et selection method addressed in this study does not only provide industries to understand the reasons of employers¡¦ turnover, but also could be a long-term classification prediction for industries.
