在本文中，我们研究人员流动对软件项目的影响。特别是，我们调查是否高人员流动率损害项目的成功。我们从89个软件从业者的实证研究数据分析表明，员工流动率高的项目是不太成功的。此外，我们的经验数据表明，高人员流动率的项目和低员工的动机水平之间的关系。我们讨论的因素，以前已经发现，以提高动机水平，并得出结论，提高动机水平可以减少人员流动，这反过来又增加了项目的成功。
In this paper we investigate the impact of staff turnover on software projects. In particular we investigate whether high staff turnover damages project success. We analyse data from an empirical study of 89 software practitioners to show that projects with high staff turnover are less successful. Furthermore our empirical data suggests a relationship between high staff turnover on projects and low staff motivation levels. We discuss factors which have been previously found to improve motivation levels and conclude that improving motivation levels can reduce staff turnover, which in turn increases project success.
