EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This project aims at studying the reasons behind the high attrition rates prevailing in YESH
LAMI PRINT PVT LTD. Turnover means voluntary cessation of membership of an organization
by an employee of that organization. Turnover intention is broadly defined as attitudinal
(thinking of quitting), decisional (intention to leave), and behavioral (searching for a new job)
processes proceeding voluntary turnover. Employee turnover incurs significant cost, both in
terms of direct costs (replacement, recruitment and selection, temporary staff, management
time), and also (and perhaps more significantly) in terms of indirect costs (morale, pressure on
remaining staff, costs of learning, product/service quality, organizational memory) and the loss
of social capital. Employee turnover is a major issue for companies in many Asian countries such
as India, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Malaysia, and Taiwan.
The primary objective is to find the Turnover Intentions in the employee of my company. This
project tries to understand the reasons for the high levels of attrition in my company with a view
of the Herzberg’s Two Factor Theory. Keeping in view the motivating factors and the hygiene
factors, the different reasons for leaving the job is studied. The same is also kept in mind while
framing the appropriate Retention techniques.
It was seen that even though there is attitudinal Turnover Intention in the employees. However,
there was decisional Turnover Intention seen in the cases of “searching for a new job” or
“Switching over to another job”. Also the different factors were highlighted to be major factors
that either can increase the satisfaction level or decrease the dissatisfaction in the employees and
thereby retain them in the organization.
After knowing the factors that induced the Turnover Intentions, appropriate retention strategy
also has been laid. With this the attrition rate can be reduced or managed up to a certain degree.

CHAPTER - 1
INTRODUCTION
Work in today's organizations is characterized by increasing complexity, rapid change and
increasingly competitive business environments. In such a turbulent environment, the
organizations are facing a gradual shift in the traditional employment relationships.
Organizational loyalty is reported to be in decline as turnover rates increase, average job tenure
falls and employees go "job shopping". Under these recent developments employee turnover has
been viewed as an important organizational problem. Its importance lies in the fact that there are
numerous negative consequences in organizations if the rate of employee turnover is high. The
direct and indirect costs associated with turnover, not only in terms of recruitment and training,
but also in terms of work disruption and demoralization of remaining employees are very
significant and expensive. Turnover intention has been acknowledged as the best predictor of
actual turnover observed that behavioral intentions to stay or leave are consistently related to turn
over behavior. Also, Wonder, in their turnover model, measured intent to leave as a surrogate for
actual turnover. Turnover intention is a complex phenomenon that depends ~n various factors.
Growing body of research on employee turnover behavior indicates that age, job satisfaction,
tenure, job image, met expectations, organizational commitment are consistently related to
turnover intentions and the actual turnover.
Among various factors influencing the intentions of a person to quit the job, job satisfaction has
been found to be most influential. Locke described job satisfaction as "a pleasurable or positive
emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one's job or job experiences". The process how
job dissatisfaction leads to thoughts of quitting is well explained by Mobley's turnover model
which posits that job and working conditions affect job satisfaction which in turn leads to the
thought of quitting, to evaluate the utility of searching behavior, job search. Evaluation of
alternatives, comparison of alternatives via present job, intention to quit or stay, and finally to
turnover or retention behavior. Research findings have shown that people who are relatively
satisfied with their jobs, will stay in them longer, i.e. lower turnover, and be less absent
8. 8
Considering the significance of job satisfaction or dissatisfaction in influencing the intentions of
employees to quit the organization, the present study was designed to examine the relationship
between job satisfaction and turnover intentions.
MEANING OF EMPLOYEE TURNOVER:
Turnover means voluntary cessation of membership of an organization by an employee of that
organization. Turnover intention is broadly defined as attitudinal (thinking of quitting),
decisional (intention to leave), and behavioral (searching for a new job) processes proceeding
voluntary turnover. Employee turnover incurs significant cost, both in terms of direct costs
(replacement, recruitment and selection, temporary staff, management time), and also (and
perhaps more significantly) in terms of indirect costs (morale, pressure on remaining staff, costs
of learning, product/service quality, organizational memory) and the loss of social capital.
Employee turnover occurs when employees voluntarily leave their jobs and must be replaced.
Turnover is expressed as an annual percentage of the total workforce. For example, 25 percent
employee turnover would mean that one-quarter of a company's workforce at the beginning of
the year has left by the end of the year. Turnover should not to be confused with layoffs, which
involve the termination of employees at the employer's discretion in response to business
conditions such as reduced sales or a merger with another company.
“Employee turnover has been defined as the rate of change in the working staff of concern
during the definite period”.
In other words, it signifies the shifting of work force into and out of an organization. It is a major
of extent to which old employees leave and new employees enter into service in a given period.
Employee turnover is the cause and effect of instability of employment, apart from being a major
of the morale and efficiency or otherwise of worker.
Therefore, it can be concluded that Employee turnover is a perpetual concern for companies.
Having to replace staff at regular interval can be headache for a busy manager and the entire
9. 9
resource- shaping circus of hiring and training new employee is one that company scarcely look
forward to.
FACTORS RELATED TO EMPLOYEE TURNOVER:
There are several factors which are related to employee turnover, thus, as shown with the help of
diagram as below:
10. 10
The explanation of these factors related to Employee Turnover is as under:
1. The Economy in this model, the overall economy sets the stage for alternative
employment opportunities. In a tight economy, generally there are less alternative
opportunities and employees are less willing to leave their current jobs even if they are
dissatisfied.
2. Company culture is another strong determinant of turnover intentions. Company culture
is determined by a bunch of things as skills, leadership, rewards/recognition, and
communications.
3. Organizational Characteristics nested within an industry is the specific organization.
Within any industry, there are some organizations that simply do a much better job of
retaining employees than others. Some of this has little to do with enlightened practices
and is simply a product of workforce demographics. All things being equal, a younger
workforce will have more job and company changes than an older workforce. Part-time
personnel are less stable than full-time personnel and a workforce with greater average
tenure will have fewer turnovers than a workforce with less average tenure.
4. Industry Trends the Health Care industry is a good example of how industry trends
interact with the general economy. With managed health care has come an increased
focus on profitability and cost reduction, and rapid consolidation of hospitals. This has
created an atmosphere of uncertainty and dissatisfaction for many health care
professionals.
The current good economy offers career opportunities outside of the industry and can
increase the level of turnover that might already occur. The net effect is that turnover is very
high in this industry and there is an increasing shortage of qualified professionals.
5. Job Characteristics one of the most researched areas is the relationship between job
satisfaction and turnover. There is a well documented body of research that suggests the
following job characteristics are most commonly associated with job satisfaction:
11. 11
Variety - Jobs that offer a greater variety of tasks are associated with higher
satisfaction levels
Autonomy - Jobs that offer greater freedom and choice in execution (i.e.,
empowerment) are associated with higher satisfaction levels
Identity - Jobs that offer a sense of ownership and personal accountability are
associated with higher satisfaction levels
Feedback - Jobs that offer intrinsic feedback on quality of performance are
associated with higher satisfaction levels
Different Schools of Thoughts
There are two schools of thoughts on employee turnover research: the labour market school and
psychological school. The labour market school deals with the issues such as demand & supply,
job search, availability of job opportunities or perceived alternatives. The psychological school
concerns with those issues principally related to psychological accounts such as job satisfaction,
organizational commitment, organizational climate, and job stress. Both schools of turnover
research are unable to predict and explain the adequately reasons and measures for organization
to manage turnover effectively. Mobley indicates that there are four primary determinants of
Turnover: Job satisfaction-dissatisfaction; expected utility of alternative internal work
roles; expected utility of external work roles; and non-work values and contingency
Job satisfaction describes how content an individual is with his or her job. There are a variety of
factors that can influence a person's level of job satisfaction; some of these factors include the
level of pay and benefits, the perceived fairness of the promotion system within a company, the
quality of the working conditions, and the job itself. Falkenburg and Schyns describe job
satisfaction as a behavioural cycle; as a cause of behaviour consists of satisfaction with different
aspects of the job and the work situation. Satisfaction is the extent to which employees like their
work. There is a negative relationship between job satisfaction and withdrawal behaviour. Job
satisfaction can be divided into three dimensions: satisfaction with pay, satisfaction with nature
12. 12
of work, and satisfaction with supervision. The relationship between job satisfaction and
turnover is one of the thoroughly investigated variables in turnover literature.
This study is to know the factors affecting the Turnover intentions or the factors that motivate the
employees to stay in the organization. It is carried out also to have a comparative view of the
factors affecting in my company. It is a known fact that the attrition rate in our company is very
high. So, this study will shower light on the major factors that induce the employees to either
stay or leave the organization.
Some of the other factors are categorized under “Pull factors” and “Push factors”, “Individual
Characteristics”. The push factors include factors like, Job satisfaction, satisfaction with pay,
salary, And performance - reward contingencies. The push factors include persona income,
household income, job status and alternatives as well as external demands. These factors are
controllable by the organizations to create satisfaction among their employees. Dissatisfaction
can be reduced by improvising on these factors.
13. 13
The other factors that play a major role in inducing turnover intentions are the personal
characteristics. These can be age, gender, education, tenure in the company, or even the marital
status. The chances of a woman leaving the job after marriage are much higher than the men.
Also, people in their early ages tend to change jobs more frequently than the later ages after
having a family.
REASONS FOR EMPLOYEE TURNOVER
It is not easy to find out as to who contributes and who has the control on the attrition of
employees. Various studies/survey conducted indicates that everyone is contributing to the
prevailing attrition. Turnover does not happen for one or two reasons. The way the industry is
projected and speed at which the companies are expanding has a major part in employee
turnover.
For a moment if we look back, did we plan for the growth of this industry and answer will be no.
The readiness in all aspects will ease the problems to some extent. In our country we start the
industry and then develop the infrastructure. If we look within, the specific reasons for attrition
14. 14
are varied in nature and it is interesting to know why the people change jobs so quickly. Even
today, the main reason for changing jobs is for higher salary and better benefits. But in call
centres the reasons are many and it is also true that for funny reasons people change jobs. At the
same time the attrition cannot be attributed to employees alone.
Organizational Matters:
The employees always assess the management values, work culture, work practices and
credibility of the organization. The Indian companies do have difficulties in getting the
businesses and retain it for a long time. There are always ups and downs in the business. When
there is no focus and in the absence of business plans, non-availability of the campaigns makes
people to quickly move out of the organization.
Working Environment:
Working environment is the most important cause of high turnover. Employees expect very
professional approach and international working environment. They expect very friendly and
learning environment. It means bossism; rigid rules and stick approach will not suit the call
centre. Employees look for freedom, good treatment from the superiors, good encouragement,
friendly approach from one and all, and good motivation.
Job Matters:
No doubt the jobs today bring lots of pressure and stress is high. The employees leave the job if
there is too much pressure on performance or any work related pressure. It is quite common that
employees are moved from one process to another. They take time to get adjusted with the new
campaigns and few employees find it difficult to get adjusted and they leave immediately.
Monotony sets in very quickly and this is one of the main reasons for attrition. Youngsters look
jobs as being temporary and they quickly change the job once they get in to their own field. The
other option is to move to such other process work where there is no pressure of sales and
meeting service level agreements (SLA).
The employees move out if there are strained relations with the superiors or with the
subordinates or any slightest discontent.
15. 15
Salary and Other Benefits:
Moving from one job to another for higher salary, better positions and better benefits are the
most important reasons for attrition. The employees expect salary revision once in 4-6 months
and if not they move to other organizations.
Personal Reasons:
The personal reasons are many and only few are visible to us. The foremost personal reasons are
getting married or falling in love or change of place. The next important personal reason is going
for higher education. Most of the BE, MCA and others appear for GATE examination or other
examinations and once they get cleared they quickly move out.
Health is another aspect, which contributes for attrition. Employees do get affected with health
problems like sleep disturbances, indigestion, headache, throat infection and gynaecological
dysfunction for lady employees. Employees who have allergic problems and unable to cope with
the AC hall etc will tend to get various other health problems and loose interest to work.
Poaching:
The demand for trained and competent manpower is very high. Poaching has become very
common. The big companies target employees of small companies. The placement agencies have
good days for doing more business.
The employees with 4-6 months experience have very good confidence and dare to walk out and
get a better job in a week's time. Most of the organizations have employee referral schemes and
this makes people to spread message and refer the know candidates from the previous companies
and earn too.
Employee’s Advocate:
One of the main reasons why employees leave companies is because of problems with their
managers. An HR professional can be termed an employee’s advocate and a bridge between top
16. 16
management and employees at all levels. There is a huge gap between HR professionals and
employees in terms of understanding challenges and delivering requirements. HR has not really
understood the problems associated with employees’ careers and jobs. The company’s overall
plans and strategies also depend on HR professionals as they voice employees’ problems and
requirements. The HR department should have genuine interest in the employees’ welfare…it is
responsible for making sure that their expectations are met. By doing this it is easier to meet the
company’s business targets.
EFFECTS OF EMPLOYEE TURNOVER
There is no set level of employee turnover which effects on the employing organization become
damaging. Mostly it is said that employee turnover is not good for the organizations. But
employers should remember that turnover is not that bad either. What is required is an optimum
mix of turnover, not too high-not too low. An optimum mix of employee turnover can help in
many ways.
A little rate of employee turnover may result into:
Bringing in new ideas and skills from new hires
Better employee-job matches.
More staffing flexibility.
Facilitate change and innovation.
High rate of turnover may lead to decrease in:
Productivity
17. 17
Service delivery
Spread of organizational knowledge
Interdependence of workers which creates bottlenecks in the smooth flow of activities
which affects the overall co-ordination.
Additional direct and indirect cost increase the cost of production and in turn there is a
reduction in the profit.
18. 18
HERZBERG THEORY – TWO FACTOR THEORY
Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory divides motivation and job satisfaction into two groups of factors
known as the motivation factors and hygiene factors. According to Frederick Herzberg, “the
motivating factors are the six ‘job content’ factors that include achievement, recognition, work
itself, responsibility, advancement, and possibility of growth. Hygiene factors are the ‘job
context’ factors, which include company policy, supervision, relationship with supervision, work
conditions, relationship with peers, salary, personal life, relationship with subordinates, status,
and job security”.
Basically the theory differentiates the factors between intrinsic motivators and extrinsic
motivators. The intrinsic motivators, known as the job content factors, define things that the
people actually do in their work; their responsibility and achievements. These factors are the
ones that can contribute a great deal to the level of job satisfaction an employee feels at work.
The job context factors, on the other hand, are the extrinsic factors that someone as an employee
does not have much control over; they relate more to the environment in which people work than
to the nature of the work itself.
Herzberg identifies these factors as the sources for job dissatisfaction. “Hertzberg reasoned that
because the factors causing satisfaction are different from those causing dissatisfaction, the two
feelings cannot simply be treated as opposites of one another. The opposite of satisfaction is not
dissatisfaction, but rather, no satisfaction. Similarly, the opposite of dissatisfaction is no
dissatisfaction.
While at first glance this distinction between the two opposites may sound like a play on words,
Herzberg argued that there are two distinct human needs portrayed”. Therefore, the basic
premise of the Two-Factor Theory is that if an employer or manager is trying to increase job
satisfaction and ultimately job performance for an employee or coworker, they need to address
those factors that effects one’s job satisfaction. The most direct approach is to work on the
intrinsic, job content factors. Giving the employee encouragement and recognition helps them to
feel more valued within the company, as well as giving a sense of achievement and
responsibility.

LITERATURE REVIEW
1) Job Satisfaction and Turnover Intention Relationship: The Moderating
Effect of Job Role Centrality and Life Satisfaction - Okechukwu E.
Amah
Turnover affects the cost of operations and drains the organization of inherent tacit knowledge.
To manage these effects job satisfaction and turnover relationships have been studied. However,
only moderate results have been obtained, a situation blamed on the exclusion of individual
difference factors, and other relationships involving these factors.
The relationship between job satisfaction (JS) and employee turnover is one of the pathways to
better understanding employee turnover - organization linkages. This connection of employee
responses has attracted the interest of researchers, because satisfied employees have a greater
tendency to stay, and contribute to an organization’s competitive advantage and productivity.
Studies have shown that TI is a good measure of actual turnover behavior, and that attitude is an
immediate determinant of TI. The first way is to study more variables including situational
variables expected to be antecedents of turnover behavior. The second strategy is to consider
various forms of the relationship involving these antecedents. These authors also recognized the
existence of other individual factors that are potential antecedents of employee turnover, and
recommended that future studies might be designed to identify these variables. The variables that
are used in this research paper are Job Satisfaction, Role Clarity, Life Satisfaction, Turnover
Intention, Job Status, Gender, Age.
Using data from 400 employees of a new generation bank located in Lagos, Nigeria, the
relationship among job satisfaction, life satisfaction, role centrality and turnover intention was
evaluated. Job satisfaction was found to have a direct negative relationship with turnover
intention. Life satisfaction and role centrality moderated this relationship, such that participants,
28. 28
who were low in life satisfaction and role centrality, had greater tendency to exit the organization
even at high levels of job satisfaction.
They formulated the under stated hypotheses to prove their stand:
H1: Job Satisfaction is negatively related to turnover
intention.
H2: Life Satisfaction is negatively related to turnover
intention.
These results indicate that the effect of job satisfaction on turnover can be enhanced in two ways;
namely, when employees find congruence between their job and their self identity, and when
involvement in such jobs enhances their overall life satisfaction. Consequently, human resources
managers will be challenged to place a high priority on job design, and develop policies that help
employees to balance their work and non work involvements so as to enhance their overall life
satisfaction.
Interaction of LS and JS to Predict Turnover Intention
According to Wright and Bonett (2007), well being is a primary resource, which results from a
combination of secondary resources. Thus, LS, being a measure of subjective well being results
from the combination of the secondary resources, JS and family satisfaction (Frone, Russell &
Cooper 1992, Akerele, Osamwonyi & Amah 2007). These secondary resources (JS and family
satisfaction) are held in bundles or what (Hobfoll 1989) referred to as caravans. Individuals do
not assess the optimum level of each resource in a bundle, which will be independent of the
levels of the other resources that will be included in the same bundle. Thus, when making
decisions involving the level of each secondary resource in any bundle, there is a holistic view of
the entire range of resources in the bundle (both available and potential levels).
This decision process can be understood by considering the consumer behavior analyses in the
theory of indifference curves (Koutsoyiannis 1979). An indifference curve shows the
combination of goods that yield the same level of satisfaction, and when indifference curves are
29. 29
shown in a graph, they form an indifference map. Individuals will always prefer the bundle of
goods that provide higher satisfaction, and are on a higher indifference curve in the individual’s
indifference map. From the theory of the indifference curve, an individual can accept a lower
level of a good in the bundle, if a higher level will negatively affect the level of satisfaction
derived from the other goods in the same bundle. This decision becomes very critical if this
higher level results in the individual moving to a lower indifference curve in the indifference
map. Similarly, LS can be compared to the level of satisfaction in the indifference curve, while
job and family satisfaction are in the bundle, and their combination will result in a level of LS. It
is likely that an employee will remain in a job with low JS, if one with higher satisfaction will
negatively affect family satisfaction, and cause lower overall LS. For example, an employee in a
current job with low satisfaction, and low commuting, may not exit the job, even when offered a
new job with higher JS, if the new job involves greater commuting that will negatively affect
family satisfaction, and thus, put the individual on a low overall life satisfaction. Hence, the
individual will prefer to remain in the current job to optimise LS, and this relationship is
expressed in hypotheses three.
H3: LS will interact with JS such that the relationship between
JS and turnover intention will be weaker for high life
satisfaction participants.
RC as Moderator of the Relationship Between JS and Turnover Intention
The work of Kanungo (1982) and Paullay, et al. (1994) established the distinction between job
and WC. The former is a micro definition involving the current job, while the latter is a general
measure relating to an entire work system, and reflects the centrality of participating in the work
domain to individual’s self identity. When comparing individual differences on the centrality of
the work and family domains, as was done by Carr, et al. (2008), the WC is the construct to be
used. The concept of RC, like the job involvement concept, adopts a micro view of the definition
of centrality by considering the importance of an individual’s present job in the definition of self.
Thus, RC captures an individual’s perception that the current job defines his/her self worth and
30. 30
self esteem. Like identity RC is an individual value measure (Rothbard & Edwards 2003), the
state is enduring, it is not situational, and is resistant to change.
There is no consensus yet as to the definition of value. For the purpose of this study, value is
defined from the work of Kluckhohn (1951:395-398) as “…a conception, explicit or implicit,
distinctive of an individual or characteristic of a group, of the desirable which influences the
selection from available modes, means and ends of action.”. Thus, value can be an individual or
a social phenomenon, and is accepted as a component of super ego, which when violated is likely
to result in feelings of guilt, shame, and ego deflation. Contribution to the framework has been
given by Smith (1963), who stated that in order to maintain self esteem, individuals become
thoroughly practiced in evoking values to justify their actions and behaviors. In summary, RC (as
an individual value), is unique, it varies in importance, and is important in determining the
attitudes and behavior of individuals in the work place (Schwartz 1994).
Turnover decision, like any other decision in the social sciences, involves cost benefit analyses.
Some employees may consider leaving their job very costly, due to their great commitment to the
workplace, or when they define their role as central to the definition of their personality and self
identity (Kluckhohn 1951, Smith 1963, Judge 1993, Carr, et al. 2008). Borrowing from the
assertion of Carr, et al. (2008) on WC, RC may likely determine how decisions are made and
actions that are taken. Based on these assumptions it is likely that even in situations of low JS,
employees may perceive that the cost incurred when they leave a particular job may be higher
than the benefit they will get by leaving, because they consider the current work role as central to
their self identity. Thus, the negative relationship between JS and turnover may be weaker.
Individuals’ work family conflict levels have been found to depend on their WC level, and thus,
WC moderated the relationship between work family conflict and work attitude.
The findings in the Rothbard and Edwards study of the identity, and utilitarian motives of
individual time involvement in roles has potential to shed more light on the interactive effect of
RC. These two authors discovered that the identity motive operates on the premise that people
invest more in a role with which they identify as it enhances their self esteem and self
actualisation. But whether people can maintain their organizational linkage, and invest more in a
31. 31
role when they have low JS was somewhat answered by the finding of Rothbard and Edwards
(2003) that people can accommodate the cost of displeasure and not withdraw, if they perceive
that the expected long term benefit is more than the cost. These findings indicate that the
centrality of a role to an individual may likely moderate their JS-turnover relationship. Hence,
hypothesis four is tendered.
H4: RC will moderate the relationship between JS and
turnover intention such that for employees who see their role
as central to the definition of their identity, the relationship
between JS and turnover intention will be weak.
Conclusion
A major contribution of this study is the adoption of a micro definition of centrality, which
considers the centrality of the individual’s role in self definition. The study argues that the micro
level definition is well suited when within domain study is involved. This approach followed the
work of Paullay, et al. (1994), who disaggregated the macro definition of Kanungo (1982) into
general WC and micro job involvement. Job involvement like RC is always used in within work
studies, and provides better result than the macro definition confounded with WC (Paullay, et al.
1994).
The current study has made contribution in the turnover model, by identifying three additional
pathways to employee turnover, namely, through the interactive effects of LS and RC and the
direct effect of RC. The significant interactive roles of LS and RC have implications for
organizational participants. Firstly, it implies that managers must be aware of the level of LS; the
contributions made by the various domains to this level of LS, and individual preference as to the
importance of each domain in defining self identity.
Thus, it is necessary to consider the centrality of the job role of an individual in self definition,
while analysing the turnover pathway involving employee work attitude. The fact that the
32. 32
employee is generally satisfied with the overall job system does not guarantee low turnover, if
the employee does not see the current role as central to self definition. Consequently,
organizations are encouraged to design work environments that enhance employee JS, and also
ensure that the employees are happy with the jobs assigned them, and see such jobs as part of
their self definition. When they perceive leaving the organization will have high cost to them,
and thus, discourage turnover.
Secondly, personality tests are frequently used in the selection processes by organizations.
Organizations should go further by identifying the role preferences of employees also, and by
appropriate use of high performance human resources policies, they can reinforce the
individual’s perception of the centrality of the role assigned them, thereby managing turnover.
Life satisfaction is affected by job and family satisfaction (Akerele, et al. 2007). Thus, managing
life satisfaction involves robust management of job and family satisfaction, which attracts
attention for the establishment of human resources policies that will help employees balance
their work and family involvements.

2) Relationship between Job Satisfaction and Turnover Intentions: An
Empirical Analysis
Ms. Gurpreet Randhawa
The present study attempts to examine the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover
intentions. The data was collected from 300 scientists (150 from NationalDairy Research
Institute, Kamal and 150 from Agriculture Extension Centres in Haryana). The scientists were
surveyed by questionnaire. The sample was drawn by using the simple random sampling
technique. Further, comparative analysis was also done in order to measure the significance of
difference between the mean scores of two groups of scientists.
The broad objectives of the present study were:
I. To study the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intentions.
II. To study the effect of job satisfaction on the turnover intentions.
III. To compare the scientists working at NDRI, Kamal and at Agriculture Extension Centers
in Haryana on the measures of job satisfaction, turnover intentions and demographic
variables.
Conclusion
To conclude, the present study found a significant negative relationship between job satisfaction
and turnover intentions suggesting thereby that higher the job satisfaction, lower is the
individual's intention to quit the job. This shows that job satisfaction or dissatisfaction plays a
significant role in influencing the turnover intentions of employees. People satisfied from their
jobs, do their work with full interest and loyalty and have low intent to quit the organization and
viceversa. The results showed a significant negative correlation between job satisfaction and
turnover intentions. This signifies that higher the job satisfaction, lower is the intent of a person
to quit the job.
34. 34
In today's changing contours of work and employment where one organization career is
becoming rarer, employers should keep their employees satisfied so that they rarely think to
leave.

Controllable vs. Uncontrollable Factors of Employee Turnover Intentions: An
Empirical Evidence from Textile sector of Pakistan.
Dr. Mahmood A. Bodla And Abdul Hameed
Employee turnover has substantial cost as it is a loss of social capital. The paper examines one of
the major human resource issues i.e. employee turnover intentions in to two dimensions:
controllable and uncontrollable factors. Controllable factors are the organizational factors and
uncontrollable factors are the environmental factors. Five variables are used for the measurement
of controllable factors which include satisfaction with pay, satisfaction with working conditions,
satisfaction with supervision, organizational commitment, and Job stress. Job hopping and
perceived alternative employment opportunities are the two variables used for measurement of
uncontrollable factors. The data is collected from 252 first line managers and supervisors of
textile sector of Pakistan for ascertaining the reasons of employee turnover. The statistical tools
employed to analyze the data are correlation and regression analyses.
The hypotheses laid were:
Hypothesis 1: Job satisfaction is negatively associated with turnover intention.
Hypothesis 1a: Satisfaction with pay is negatively associated with turnover intention.
Hypothesis 1b: Satisfaction with work is negatively associated with turnover intention.
Hypothesis 1c: Satisfaction with supervision is negatively associated with turnover intention.
Hypothesis 2: Organizational commitment is negatively associated with turnover intention.
Hypothesis 3: Job stress is positively associated with turnover intentions.
Hypothesis 4: Job hopping is positively associated with turnover intention.
36. 36
Hypothesis 5: Alternative employment opportunity is positively associated with turnover
intention.
Measures
Controllable variables included job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and Job stress. Job
satisfaction was measured on five point likert scale and this variable divided into three
dimensions i.e. satisfaction with pay, working condition, and supervision. Three items were used
for measuring each dimension. These were adapted from the Minnesota Satisfaction
Questionnaire (Weiss et al., 1967) and the Index of
Organizational Reaction Questionnaire (Smith, 1976). The reliabilities of three cales showed
satisfactory with Cronbach alphas of 0.63, 0.84, and 0.65, respectively, for satisfaction with pay,
working condition and supervision. Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ) was used
to measure employee commitment level, developed by Khatri and his colleagues (Khatri et al,
1974). Eight items were used for the measurement of organizational commitment. The scale
showed a good reliability i.e. 0.81. Job stress four items were used to measure, developed by
Vigoda and Kapun (2005). The job hopping was measured on three item scale which already
developed by Khatri and his lleagues (Khatri et al., 2001). The scale showed reliability i.e.
Cronbach alpha 0.71. The perceived alternative employment opportunities scale contained six
items and was adopted by Michaels and Spector (1982), Arnold and Feldman (1982), Billing and
Wemmerus (1983) and Modey et al (1984). The scale showed good reliability i.e. 0.76 and single
factor in factor analysis.
Conclusion
Employee has intention to switch when he is dissatisfied from his pay, supervision and nature of
work. A satisfied employee is more committed to the organizational work and has strong loyalty
and affiliation with the organization. Job stress is the mental tension caused by the workload,
working condition, and lack of means to perform job. So, job stress is another reason for
switching job from one to another organization. Job hopping and alternative employment
opportunities are the environmental factors who responsible for employee turnover intention.
37. 37
Job satisfaction and organizational commitment are negatively associated with turnover
intention. Job stress, job hopping and alternative employment opportunity is positively
associated with turnover intention. Controllable or organizational factors (job satisfaction,
organizational commitment, job stress) are more responsible for the intentions of employee
turnover as compare to uncontrollable or environmental factors (job hopping, alternative
employment opportunity). Human resource personnel can manage employee turnover by
providing competitive pay package, inspirational supervision, and congenial working condition
which ultimately produce committed and loyal employees.
Job stress can be managed by proper division of work and counseling service for the solution of
stress related problems. The researchers can extend this research by adding more variables just
like organizational change and its impact on employee turnover intentions, managers’ leadership
style and employee turnover intention. They can compare this study into two dimensions
manufacturing vs. service sector employees by increasing sample size which will give broader
view and comprehensive frame work of employee turnover intention.

SUGGESTIONS
Employee retention is critical to the long term health and success of the business. A motivated
employee wants to contribute to work areas outside of his specific job description.
In today's scenario, it is not enough to pay the employees well and get the work done. Salary
might be an initial excuse to switch over. As the job demands are increasing, the demands of the
employees have also risen.
The expectancy theory states that everyone does not value outcomes the same way. This is the
reason; the organizations need to design an effective retention plan for their organizations. This
plan may include effective “Rewards & Recognition Programs”. These plans may or may not
be monetary.
It was learnt from the interviews that the employees of this company more wanted the job
content factors than the context. The employers in this organizations can carry out “coaching
sessions”, opportunities for career advancement, giving more flexibility and autonomy in their
work and more transparency in the organization, etc.
In this compan, employees apart from the job content factors the employees also chose the
factors like higher salary, social environment and Job status as reasons for changing the job.
Employers in this organizations need better ways to link the rewards and incentives to the work.
As it was seen that employees also responded positively to the satisfaction with their salary and
showed that there was adequate rewards and recognition. What lacking here is the link that is to
be established.
