Development of a Prediction Model for Turnover Intentions among Female Wage Workers in South Korea Using Machine Learning and SMOTEENN
This study examines career trajectories among women with career breaks, using data from the 2019 National Survey of Women on Career Breaks (n=1,138). The data underwent preprocessing, including outlier detection, feature scaling, and class imbalance correction with SMOTEENN. Three machine learning models were evaluated, with the Random Forest model achieving the best performance. Key predictors included flexible leave policies, social insurance, remote work options, and job security. The findings highlight the importance of supportive organizational policies in retaining female employees. Future research should explore longitudinal impacts and additional variables like organizational culture.
