Abstract
This paper reports a research that investigated factors that might relate to employees’ turnover intention. The study was a cross-sectional study where respondents’ perception was measured at one point in time. 105 respondents participated in this study. Two factors, namely organizational support and organizational commitment (affective commitment and continuance commitment) were tested to predict turnover intention among employees in the company. Results from the study reveal that only affective commitment is significantly negatively related to turnover intention. The findings were discussed and implications were also put forward. Keywords: Turnover intention, organizational support, organizational commitment, affective commitment, continuance commitment.
Highlights
Employee turnover has become a serious management problem because of its financial and moral impacts on the organization’s limited source
The main aim of this study is to investigate the factors that might contribute to employee turnover intention in manufacturing industries which mainly focus on organizational support and organizational commitment
The result of this study indicate that continuance commitment is associated with turnover intentions, since employees are likely to stay with their organization when they have an emotional attachment to their organization and when they perceive the cost of leaving
Summary
Employee turnover has become a serious management problem because of its financial and moral impacts on the organization’s limited source. Today, organizations find it difficult to retain employees as a result of many baby boomers retiring from the workplace. Employee turnover greatly demands the management’s attention and do whatever they can to retain and motivate the existing employees. Managers at all levels must know how to minimize employee’s turnover. It is very important to develop a full understanding of employee turnover especially the source of what determines employee turnover, the effects and the strategies that managers can put in place in order to minimize turnover
