Data were analyzed by bivariate analysis including t-test, F-test, and correlation analysis. Research findings revealed that samples with different gender and age had different resignation trend with a statistical significance; and job characteristic was positively related to resignation trend. In contrast, compensation and welfare, commander and organization were negatively related to resignation trend with a statistical significance.
