Diagram 1: A management-concerns diagram on "staff turnover and related HR policy" [level 0]
Specifically, the components are:
Component 1: concern on stressful and unfriendly working condition and HR policy
Component 2: concern on employees' low morale and low job satisfaction
Component 3: concern on the staff turnover problem
Component 4: concern on the negative impact of staff turnover to employees' quality of work life and related behavioral outcomes
Component 5: concern on the impacts of staff turnover on business performance
Component 6: concern on the effectiveness of HR solutions to cope with the staff turnover problem, notably with flexitime
A management-concerns diagram at level 0 exhibits characteristics of a cognitive map but the management-concerns diagram is not for comprehensively explore and document the problem-situation facing the client system under review. The management-concerns diagram has a narrower scope and objective for the provision of justification of the companion theoretical framework (as constructed by the researcher]. Another point is that a management-concerns diagram is not a mind-map [which focuses on a very specific object (e.g., a management topic such as staff turnover] with radiant thinking under investigation].

It is also useful to insert links on the individual points in the level 1 diagram, e.g. 1.4 (lots of overtime) ---> 2.5 (staff feeling upset), see Diagram 3.

It is very likely not feasible to have an aggregate level 1 management-concerns diagram that cover all components (re: diagram 1) on an A4 paper. Another point to note is that some researchers might be interested in conducting quantitative data analysis (e.g., correlation analysis) on these linkages with their questionnaire survey data.
