1) Employee retention is important for organizations to reduce turnover rates and costs. However, to reduce rates, organizations must understand the main reasons why employees leave, such as feeling undervalued, lack of career growth opportunities, and poor management. 2) There are several theories that aim to explain what motivates employees. Maslow's hierarchy of needs suggests that lower level needs must be met before higher level needs can motivate. Herzberg's two-factor theory separates motivators like achievement and recognition from hygiene factors like salary and job security. 3) Effective leaders can motivate employees by recognizing individual needs, encouraging growth, acting as a role model, and involving employees in decisions that affect their work.

8. Obviously, it’s important for organizations to reduce turnover rates. However, in
order to reduce these rates, organizations must first understand the main reasons why
employees leave for other positions. Because Good people don’t leave good
organizations– they leave poor managers!
12 Reasons for Employee Turnover
1. Rude Behavior. Studies shown that everyday indignities have an adverse effect on
productivity and result in good employees quitting. Rudeness, assigning blame,
backbiting, favoritism and retaliations are among reasons that aggravate the turnovers of
employee. Feeling resentful and mistreated is not an enticement for a good work
environment.
2. Work-life Imbalance. When the employees are forced to choose between their personal
life and a work life. (e.g. longer hours in work and weekend work)
3. The job did not meet expectations. The job was significantly vary from the initial
description and what was promised during the interview stage. It may lead to mistrust,
and when this trust is missing, there can be no real employee ownership.
4. Employee misalignment. Managers should not try to force a fit when there is none. This
is like trying to force a size nine foot into a size eight shoe. Neither management nor
employee will be happy and it usually ends badly.

9. 5. Feeling undervalued. Everyone wants to be recognized and rewarded for a job well
done. The most effective recognition is appreciation. It is an effective way to communicate
appreciation in a positive effort, while also reinforcing those actions and behaviors.
6. Coaching and feedback are lacking. Giving and getting honest feedback is essential for
growth and building successful teams and organizations.
7. Decision-making ability is lacking. Organization must gives employees latitude to do
their jobs by placing trust in them. In that case, employees will embrace that job with
enthusiasm and pride of ownership.
8. People skills are inadequate. Many managers were promoted because they did their
jobs conspicuously and got results. But that doesn’t mean they know how to lead. Leaders
aren’t born they are made. It’s time for the manager to impart the knowledge and skills he
had to his employees.
9. Raises and promotions frozen. Organizations may not have a goal to offer the best
compensations but if they don’t , they better pay competitive wages and benefits while
making their employees feel valued.
10. Faith and confidence shaken. Employers need to demonstrate appreciation through
their employees actions.
11. Growth Opportunities not available. Employees need to develop new skills and
responsibilities in their current positions.
12. Organizational Instability. With constant reorganization and shuffling people it causes
frustration leasing to confusion and inefficiencies.

10. EMPLOYEE TURNOVER VS. EMPLOYEE

terms that often are confused. There are several types of turnover,
but attrition usually can be described as a reduction in workforce.

actions, such as discharge, termination,
resignation or job abandonment.
Occurs when an employee retires or when
the company eliminates his job.

the employee.
The employer leaves the vacancy unfilled
or eliminates that job role.

24. Maslow (1970) believe that people are motivated to satisfy certain needs,
raging from basic survival to complex psychological needs, in that people seek a higher
need only when the lower needs have been pre- dominantly met.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs theory
Needs were categories as five levels of lower-higher-order
needs.
*Individual must satisfy lower-level needs before they can
satisfy higher order needs.
*Satisfied needs will no longer motivate.
*Motivating a person depends on knowing at what level
that a person is on the hierarchy.

25. • Skinner
B.F. Skinner was another theorist in this era who contributed to the
understanding of motivation, dissatisfaction and productivity. Skinner(1953)
research on operant conditioning and behavior modification demonstrated that
people could be condition to behave in a certain way based on a consistent
reward or punishment system.
• Herzberg
Frederick Herzberg (1977) believe that employees can be motivated by
the work itself and that there is an internal or personal need to met
organizational goals. The distinction between hygiene or maintenance factors
and motivator factors was called the motivation-hygiene theory. He maintained
that motivators or job satisfiers are present in work itself. They give people the
desire to work and do that work well.

27. Saul Gellerman
Another humanistic motivational theorist, has identified
several methods to motivate people positively. One such method,
stretching, involves assigning tasks that are more than
difficult than what the person is used to doing. Another method,
is participation, entails actively drawing employees into decisions
affecting their work. Gellerman strongly believed that motivation
problems usually stem from the way the organization manages and
not from the staffs’ unwillingness to work hard.
