Hi-tech employees always possess high entrepreneurial qualities, owing to accumulation of job experience and knowledge. So their turnover and entrepreneurship should be an emphasis of our research. This paper introduces a perspective of embeddedness and establishes conceptual model of turnover and startup of hi-tech employees. Then, it builds up a model with Game Theory to analyze the relationship between human or social capital and employees'income. Moreover, it reveals how the factors basing on job embeddedness influence employees'decisions to quit their job and create new enterprises.Through summarizing and analyzing, this paper indicates that human capital basing on on-the-job embeddedness depends on the factors which consist of work experience, knowledge capital, network location and inspiration to employees, and social capital basing on off-the-job embeddedness relies on those factors that are composed of structural capital, relational capital and cognitive capital. On the one hand, abundant work experience, efficient knowledge transfer, central place on the network and proper inspirational ways are benefit for formation of high quality of human capital. On the other hand, if their structural capital is greater, relational capital is closer, and cognitive capital is more consistent, hi-tech employees would have more abundant social capital.In section 5, this paper uses the case study to confirm the conclusions, and it gets the same results as the above conclusions. At last, the paper provides hi-tech enterprises with suggestions in some ways including employees'training and salary system to prevent loss of core personnel, and give governments the many advices such as tax concessions and protection of intellectual property rights to manage mobility of employees and increase success rate of entrepreneurship.
