Introduction:
Background of Study: There is a serious problem of employees turnover in private sector (banks, financial institutions, manufacturing organizations, service industries etc.). Because of this problem a lot of problems were taking place. E.g. less job commitment, more cost on recruitment of employees, loss of time, more usage of the resources of the organization that may be used in other profitable work areas of business. Many organizations have conducted the research on the topic of employees` turnover in private sector. A brief review can be found under the heading of LITERATURE REVIEW. Research objectives: The basic purpose of the study is to reduce the rate of employees turnover and providing the solution of the problem and recommendations to implement these solutions for all the type of private organizations for all level of organizations and also for all functional areas of the organization. By reducing the turnover rate, we can make the employees more loyal and efficient. We can save our cost and time required for recruitment of the employees again and again. We will conduct our research work by keeping in mind the following objectives: to Identify the basic causes of employees turnover To establish suitable effectiveness criteria for reducing employees turnover To describe the extent to which the effectiveness criteria for controlling employees turnover have been met. To determine the factors associated with the problem. To estimate whether some of those factors are more influential than other factors. To develop an explanatory theory that associates certain factors. reduce employees turnover 1 Punjab University Gujranwala Campus

Our planning will be to achieve the above objectives by visiting and investigating the market (private institutions, manufacturing concerns, service industries etc.). Significance: By control over this problem of high turnover in private sector, organizations can achieve a lot of major benefits or we can say that there will be more than one benefit the firms can achieve by the findings of our research work. These benefits are as follow: Increased productivity More efficiency More effectiveness Strong culture because all the employees are aware of it due to low rate of turnover Less utilization of resources and more production due to increased experience of employees. High rate of expertise High quality products and services also due to experience in the field High profitability due to low costs Increased Employees loyalty toward organization High job commitment More job satisfaction of the employees.

A review of the literature on employee turnover: Henry Ongori Department of Management, University of Botswana, Botswana. E-mail:

[email protected]. Accepted 22, May 2007 Employees turnover as a term is widely used in business circles. Although several studies have been conducted on this topic, most of the researchers focus on the causes of employee turnover but little has been done on the examining the sources of employee turnover, effects and advising various strategies which can be used by managers in various organizations to ensure that there is employee continuity in their organizations to enhance organizational competitiveness. This paper examines the sources of employee turnover, effects and forwards some strategies on how to minimize employee turnover in organizations.

Key words: Employee, turnover, sources, effects, strategies.

INTRODUCTION:
Organizations invest a lot on their employees in terms of induction and training, developing, maintaining and retaining them in their organization. Therefore, managers at all costs must minimize employees turnover. Although, there is no standard framework for understanding the employees turnover process as whole, a wide range of factors have been found useful in interpreting employee turnover Kevin et al. (2004). Therefore, there is need to develop a fuller understanding of the employee turnover, more especially, the sources- what determines employee turnover, effects and strategies that managers can put in place minimize turnover. With globalization which is heightening competition, organizations must continue to develop tangible products and provide services which are based on strategies created by employees. These employees are extremely crucial to the organization since their value to the organization is essentially intangible and not easily replicated Meghan et al. (2002). Therefore, managers must recognize that employees as major contributors to the efficient achievement of the organizations success Abbasi et al. (2000). Managers should control employee turnover for the benefit of the organization success. The literature on employee turnover is divided into three groupings: sources of employee turnover, effects of turnover and the strategies to minimize turnover. Definition: Employees turnover is a much studied phenomenon Shaw et al. (1998).But there is no standard reason why people leave organization. Employee turnover is the rotation of workers around the labour market; between firms, jobs and occupations; and between the states of employment and unemployment Abassi et al. (2000). The term turnover 4 Punjab University Gujranwala Campus

Employees Turn Over In PVT. Sector is defined by Price (1977) as: the ratio of the number of organizational members who have left during the period being considered divided by the average number of people in that organization during the period. Frequently, managers refer to turnover as the entire process associated with filling a vacancy: Each time a position is vacated, either voluntarily or involuntarily, a new employee must be hired and trained. This replacement cycle is known as turnover Woods, (1995). This term is also often utilized in efforts to measure relationships of employees in an organization as they leave, regardless of reason. Unfolding model of voluntary turnover represents a divergence from traditional thinking (Hom and Griffeth, 1995) by focusing more on the decisional aspect of employee turnover, in other words, showing instances of voluntary turnover as decisions to quit. Indeed, the model is based on a theory of decision making, image theory Beach, (1990). The image theory describes the process of how individuals process information during decision making. The underlying premise of the model is that people leave organizations after they have analyzed the reasons for quitting. Beach (1990) argues that individuals seldom have the cognitive resources to systematically evaluate all incoming information, so individuals instead of simply and quickly compare incoming information to 050 Afr. J. Bus. Manage. more heuristic-type decision making alternatives. Sources of employee turnover Job related factors: Most researchers (Bluedorn, 1982; Kalliath and Beck, 2001; Kramer et al., 1995; Peters et al., 1981; Saks, 1996) have attempted to answer the question of what determines people's intention to quit by investigating possible antecedents of employees intentions to quit. To date, there has been little consistency in findings, which is partly due to the diversity of employed included by the researchers and the lack of consistency in their findings. Therefore, there are several reasons why people quit from one organization to another or why people leave organization. The experience 5 Punjab University Gujranwala Campus

Employees Turn Over In PVT. Sector of job related stress (job stress), the range factors that lead to job related stress (stressors), lack of commitment in the organization; and job dissatisfaction make employees to quit Firth et al. (2004). This clearly indicates that these are individual decisions which make one to quit. They are other factors like personal agency refers to concepts such as a sense of powerlessness, locus of control and personal control. Locus control refers to the extent to which people believe that the external factors such as chance and powerful others are in control of the events which influence their lives Firth et al. (2004). Manu et al. (2004) argue that employees quit from organization due economic reasons. Using economic model they showed that people quit from organization due to economic reasons and these can be used to predict the labor turnover in the market. Good local labor market conditions improve organizational stability Schervish (1983). Large organizations can provide employees with better chances for advancement and higher wages and hence ensure organizational attachment (Idson and Feaster 1990). Trevor (2001) argues that local unemployment rates interact with job satisfaction to predict turnover in the market. Role stressors also lead to employees turnover. Role ambiguity refers to the difference between what people expect of us on the job and what we feel we should do. This causes uncertainty about what our role should be. It can be a result of misunderstanding what is expected, how to meet the expectations, or the employee thinking the job should be different Kahn et al. Muchinsky, 1990. Insufficient information on how to perform the job adequately, unclear expectations of peers and supervisors, ambiguity of performance evaluation methods, extensive job pressures, and lack of consensus on job functions or duties may cause employees to feel less involved and less satisfied with their and jobs and careers, display a less committed to to leave their the organizations, eventually propensity

organization (Tor et al., 1997). If roles of employees are not clearly

Employees Turn Over In PVT. Sector spelled out by management/ supervisors, this would accelerate the degree of employees quitting their jobs due to lack of role clarity.

Voluntarily vs. involuntary turnover:

There are some factors that are, in part, beyond the control of management, such as the death or incapacity of a member of staff. Other factors have been classed as involuntary turnover in the past such as the need to provide care for children or aged relatives. Today such factors should not be seen as involuntary turnover as both government regulation and company policies create the chance for such staff to come back to work, or to continue to work on a more flexible basis Simon et al. (2007). Organizational factors:

Organizational instability has been shown to have a high degree of high turnover. Indications are that employees are more likely to stay when there is a predictable work environment and vice versa (Zuber, 2001). In organizations where there was a high level of inefficiency there was also a high level of staff turnover (Alexander et al., 1994). Therefore, in situations where organizations are not stable employees tend to quit and look for stable organizations because with stable organizations they would be able to predict their career advancement. The imposition of a quantitative approach to managing the employees led to disenchantment

7 Punjab University Gujranwala Campus

Employees Turn Over In PVT. Sector of staff and hence it leads to labour turnover. Therefore management should not use quantitative approach in managing its employees. Adopting a cost oriented approach to employment costs increases labour turnover Simon et al. (2007). All these approaches should be avoided if managers want to minimize employee turnover an increase organizational competitiveness in this environment of globalization. Employees have a strong need to be informed. Organization with strong communication systems enjoyed lower turnover of staff (Labov, 1997). Employees feel comfortable to stay longer, in positions where they are involved in some level of the decision-making process. That is employees should fully understand about issues that affect their working atmosphere (Manger et al. (1996). But in the absence openness in sharing information, employee empowerment the chances of continuity of employees are minimal. Costly et al. (1987) points out that a high labour turnover may mean poor personnel policies, poor recruitment policies, poor supervisory practices, poor grievance procedures, or lack of motivation. All these factors contribute to high employee turnover in the sense that there is no proper management practices and policies on personnel matters hence employees are not recruited scientifically, promotions of employees are not based on spelled out policies, no grievance procedures in place and thus employees decides to quit. Griffeth et al. (2000) noted that pay and pay-related variables have a modest effect on turnover. Their analysis also included studies that examined the relationship between pay, a persons performance and turnover. They concluded that when high performers are insufficiently rewarded, they quit. If jobs provide adequate financial incentives the more likely employees remain with organization and vice versa. There are also other factors which make employees to quit from organisations and these are poor hiring practices, managerial style, lack of recognition, lack of competitive compensation system in the organisation and toxic workplace environment Abassi etal. (2000). 8 Punjab University Gujranwala Campus

Effects of employee turnover: Employee turnover is expensive from the view of the organization. Voluntary quits which represents an exodus of human capital investment from organizations Fair (1992) and the subsequent replacement process entails manifold costs to the organizations. These replacement costs include for example, search of the external labor market for a possible substitute, selection between competing substitutes, induction of the chosen substitute, and formal and informal training of the substitute until he or she attains performance levels equivalent to the individual who quit John (2000). Addition to these replacement costs, output would be affected to some extend or output would be maintained at the cost of overtime payment. The reason so much attention has been paid to the issue of turnover is because turnover has some significant effects on organizations (DeMicco and Giridharan, 1987; Dyke and Strike, 1990; Cantrell and Saranakhsh, 1991; Denvir and Mcmahon, 1992).Many researchers argue that high turnover rates might have negative effects on the profitability of organizations if not managed properly (Hogan, 1992; Warmouth and Davis, 1993; Barrows, 1990). Hogan 1992, nearly twenty years ago the direct and indirect cost of a single line employee quitting was between $ 1400 and $4000. Turnover has many hidden or invisible costs Philips (1990) and these invisible costs are result of incoming employees, co-workers closely associated with incoming employees, co-workers closely associated with departing 9 Punjab University Gujranwala Campus

Employees Turn Over In PVT. Sector employees and position being filled while vacant. And all these affect the profitability of the organization. On the other hand turnover affects on customer service and satisfaction Kemal et al. (2002). Catherine (2002) argue that turnover include other costs, such as lost productivity, lost sales, and managements time, estimate the turnover costs of an hourly employee to be $3,000 to $10,000 each. This clearly demonstrates that turnover affects the profitability of the organization and if its not managed properly it would have the negative effect on the profit. Research estimates indicate that hiring and training a replacement worker for a lost employee costs approximately 50 percent of the workers annual salary (Johnson et al., 2000) but the costs do not stop there. Each time an employee leaves the firm, we presume that productivity drops due to the learning curve involved in understanding the job and the organization. Furthermore, the Ongori 051 loss of intellectual capital adds to this cost, since not only do organizations lose the human capital and relational capital of the departing employee, but also competitors are potentially gaining these assets Meaghan et al. (2002). Therefore, if employee turnover is not managed properly it would affect the organization adversely in terms of personnel costs and in the long run it would affect its liquidity position. However, voluntary 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 Dess et al. (2001).

Strategies to minimize employee turnover: Strategies on how to minimize employee turnover, confronted with problems of employee turnover, management has several policy options viz. changing (or improving existing) policies towards recruitment, selection, induction, training, job design and wage payment. Policy choice, however, must be appropriate to the precise diagnosis of the problem. Employee turnover attributable to poor selection procedures, for example, is unlikely to improve were the policy modification to focus exclusively on the induction process. Equally, employee turnover Attributable to wage rates which produce earnings that are not competitive with other firms in the local labor market is unlikely to decrease were the policy adjustment merely to enhance the organizations provision of on-the job training opportunities. Given that there is increase in direct and indirect costs of labor turnover, therefore, management are frequently exhorted to identify the reasons why people leave organizations so that appropriate action is taken by the management. Extensive research has shown that the following categories of human capital management factors provides a core set of measures that senior management can use to increase the effectiveness of their investment in people and improve overall corporate performance of business: Employee engagement, the organizations capacity to engage, retain, and optimize the value of its employees hinges on how well jobs are designed, how employees' time is used, and the commitment and support that is shown to employees by the management would motivate employees to stay in organizations.. Knowledge accessibility, the extent of the organizations collaborative ness and its 11 Punjab University Gujranwala Campus

Employees Turn Over In PVT. Sector capacity for making knowledge and ideas widely available to employees, would make employees to stay in the organization. Sharing of information should be made at all levels of management. This accessibility of information would lead to strong performance from the employees and creating strong corporate culture Meaghan et al. (2002). Therefore; information accessibility would make employees feel 052 Afr. J. Bus. Manage. That they are appreciated for their effort and chances of leaving the organization are minimal. Workforce optimization, the organizations success in optimizing the performance of the employees by establishing essential processes for getting work done, providing good working conditions, establishing accountability and making good hiring choices would retain employees in their organization. The importance of gaining better understanding of the factors related to recruitment, motivation and retention of employees is further underscored by rising personnel costs and high rates of employee turnover (Badawy, 1988; Basta and Johnson, 1989; Garden, 1989; Parden, 1981; Sherman, 1986). With increased competitiveness on globalizations, managers in many organizations are experiencing greater pressure from top management to improve recruitment, selection, training, and retention of good employees and in the long run would encourage employees to stay in organizations. Job involvement describes an individuals ego involvement with work and indicates the extent to which an individual identifies psychologically with his/her job (Kanungo, 1982). Involvement in terms of internalizing values about the goodness or the importance of work made employees not to quit their jobs and these involvements are related to task characteristics. Workers who have a greater variety of tasks tend stay in the job. Task characteristics have been found to be potential determinants of turnover among employees (Couger, 1988; Couger and Kawasaki, 1980; Garden, 1989; Goldstein and Rockart, 1984). These include the five core job characteristics identified by Hackman and Oldham (1975, 1980): skill variety, which refers to the opportunity to utilize a variety of valued skills 12 Punjab University Gujranwala Campus

Employees Turn Over In PVT. Sector and talents on the job; task identity, or the extent to which a job requires completion of a whole and identifiable piece of work - that is, doing a job from beginning to end, with visible results; task significance, which reflects the extent to which the job has a substantial impact on the lives or work of other people, whether within or outside the organization; job autonomy, or the extent to which the job provides freedom, independence, and discretion in scheduling work and determining procedures that the job provides; and job feedback, which refers to the extent to which the job provides information about the effectiveness of ones performance (Tor et al., 1997). Involvement would influence job satisfaction and increase organizational commitment of the employees. Employees who are more involved in their jobs are more satisfied with their jobs and more committed to their organization (Blau and Boal, 1989; Brooke and Price, 1989; Brooke et al., 1988; Kanungo, 1982). Job involvement has also been found to be negatively related to turnover intentions (Blat and Boal, 1989). Job satisfaction, career satisfaction, and organizational commitment reflect a positive attitude towards the organization, thus having a direct influence on employee turnover intentions. Job satisfaction, job involvement and organizational commitment are considered to be related but distinguishable attitudes (Brooke and Price, 1989). Satisfaction represents an affective response to specific aspects of the job or career and denotes the pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from an appraisal of ones job or career (Locke, 1976; Porter et al., 1974; Williams and Hazer, 1986). Organizational commitment is an affective response to the whole organization and the degree of attachment or loyalty employees feel towards the organization. Job involvement represents the extent to which employees are absorbed in or preoccupied with their jobs and the extent to which an individual identifies with his/her job (Brooke et al., 1988).The degree of commitment and loyalty can be achieved if management they enrich the jobs, empower and compensate employees properly. 13 Punjab University Gujranwala Campus

Employees Turn Over In PVT. Sector Empowerment of employees could help to enhance the continuity of employees in organizations. Empowered employees where managers supervise more people than in a traditional hierarchy and delegate more decisions to their subordinates (Malone, 1997). Managers act like coaches and help employees solve problems. Employees, he concludes, have increased responsibility. Superiors empowering subordinates by delegating responsibilities to them leads to subordinates who are more satisfied with their leaders and consider them to be fair and in turn to perform up to the superiors expectations (Keller and Dansereau, 1995). All these makes employees to be committed to the organization and chances of quitting are minimal. Conclusions:
Therefore, if the above strategies are taken into account the business would be able to survive in a dynamic environment by treating their employees as one of their assets which needs a lot of attention. Employees are the backbone of any business success and therefore, they need to be motivated and maintained in organization at all cost to aid the organization to be globally competitive in terms of providing quality products and services to the society. And in the longrun the returns on investments on the employees would be achieved. Management should Encourage job redesign-task autonomy, task significance and task identity, open book management, empowerment of employees, recruitment and selection must be done scientifically with the objective of retaining employees. Managers should examine the sources of employee turnover and recommend the best approach to fill the gap of the source, so that they can be in a position to retain employees in their organization to enhance their competitiveness in the this world of globalization. Managers must understand that employees in their organizations must be treated as the most liquid assets of the organization which would make the organization to withstand the waves of globalization. This asset needs to be monitored with due care, otherwise their organizations would cease to exist. Employees should be given challenging work and all managers should be hired on the basis of know how by following laid down procedures of

Employees Turn Over In PVT. Sector


the organization and this would make organization to have competent managers at all levels of management and hence good supervision. Griffeth et al. (2000) noted pay and pay-related variables have a great effect on employee turnover. Management must compensate employees adequately. They should pay employees based on their performance and in addition they should given employees incentives like individual bonus, lump sum bonus, sharing of profits and other benefits. Hence, if these are put in place they would minimize employee turnover.

1) Exploratory: Conducted when we dont know much about the situation or we Have not much familiar on how similar problems were solved in the past. 2) Descriptive Study: Focus on accurate description of the variables in the Problem model. It is done to be able to describe the characteristics of variables in the situation. 3) Hypothesis Testing: Explain the nature of certain relationship or establish the differences among groups or the independence of two or more factors. 4) Case Study: If the researcher has to explain the current situation in the light of an event which has already occurred in the past then this purpose is to case study.

Employees Turn Over In PVT. Sector The purpose of our study is descriptive in nature, because the information already available that the Employee turnover is greater in the private sector.

Data Collection techniques: There are two types of data collection methods. 1. Primary data collection a. b. a. Structured interviews Unstructured interviews 2. Secondary data collection Questionnaires

Primary data collection:

Structured Interview: Structured Interviews are conducted when it is known at the outset what information is needed. The interviewer has a list of pre-determined questions to be asked of the respondents either personally, through the telephone, or by sending the main through electronic mail. Un-Structured Interview: 31 Punjab University Gujranwala Campus

Employees Turn Over In PVT. Sector In case of unstructured interview, the interviewer asks the questions without any pre-determined sequence. Those questions are asked first which come in the mind of the interviewer first. So we conducted Structured Interviews with the employees of different selected organizations. And our method of collecting Primary Data is through Structured Interviews and Un-structured Interviews which we have already discussed in preliminary data collection methods Focus Groups: We went to the private organization to consult about the employee turnover in the private sector. Panels: Our group went more than one time to consult with them about the problem so, that becomes a panel. Unobtrusive measures: It means to trace the measures from a primary source that does not involve people. We also use this technique just to find the reasons of employees turnover in private sector. Secondary data collection: Questionnaire: A questionnaire is a pre formulated written set of questions to which respondents record their answers, usually within rather closely defined alternatives. Questionnaires are an efficient data collection mechanism when the researcher knows exactly what is required and how to measure the variables of interest.

A subset or small part of a large population.


Types of sampling:

Probability Sampling Non Probability Sampling

1) Probability sampling:
A sampling design which is based upon the concept of random selection. OR A sampling technique where every element of population have known and equal chances of selection

Types of probability Sampling: Simple random sampling In Such types of situation we will use S.R.S; It must be based on generalized result. When our population is homogeneous We have less time and less resources Population frame is clear

Complex Random Sampling 35 Punjab University Gujranwala Campus

Employees Turn Over In PVT. Sector CRS is used in the following situations; Population is not homogenous (divided into groups and subgroups). We are concerned with real generalization. Population frame is limited. We have enough time and resources In case of exploratory research.

Types of CRS
Systematic sampling According to this approach we will select the member of the sample on the basis of a particular system e.g. System means selecting every nth element in the population starting with a randomly chosen element between 1 to N. Stratified sampling: This sampling approach is used when our population consists upon the groups having different characteristics. Stratified sampling is a probability sampling design that first divides the population into subgroups and then subjects are chosen randomly from each sub group. Cluster sampling: A probability sampling design in which sample is chosen on the basis of intra- group heterogeneity and inter-group homogeneity. Inter ---- without comparison Intra ----- with comparison 36 Punjab University Gujranwala Campus

Employees Turn Over In PVT. Sector

Area sampling: It is actually a form of cluster sampling within an area when the research is concerned to population within identified geographical area such as cities, countries, particular locality the process of sampling will be called area sampling Double sampling: A process which includes collecting data from a sample using previously defined techniques based on the information from a sub sample for further analysis. This plan is used when further information is needed from subset of the group from which same information has already been collected from the same study.

2) Non probability Sampling:


A sampling design which is based upon the concept of non random selection. OR A sampling technique where every member of population have not equal chances of selection We use non probability sampling techniques in following situation; Less concern with generalization Mostly concern is to feel the situation We have limited time and need the quick information When population frame is not clear Types of Non Probabilities Sampling 37 Punjab University Gujranwala Campus

Employees Turn Over In PVT. Sector I. Convenient sampling The procedure which refers to the collection of information from members of the population who are conveniently available is named as convenient sampling. II. Purposive sampling If it is necessary to get or obtain information from some specific target group we will use purposive sampling. Here sampling is confined to specific type of people who can provide the desired information.

Two approaches are used by purposive sampling.

a) Judgment approach According to this approach we search for appropriate respondents and judge whether they can provide us the required information or not. So according to this approach our sample consist of only that respondents who can provide us relevant information. b) Quota sampling According to this approach we fix the quota of people for every area to get information from appropriate respondents. In our research we used the purposive sampling and we use the following types of approaches. Quota sampling Because we filled our questionnaire under particular quota like following 20% from customers, 20%from distributors, 20%from traders or wholesalers and 40% from local manufacturing companies. Tools of Data Collection: 38 Punjab University Gujranwala Campus

1. Private organization should adopt the strategy of well pay system in which there is a fix limit of the number of leaves in one month. sick pay system should be avoided. 2. Private organizations should care the parents and children of the employees just like public sectors.

Before the selection of the employee, organizations should check the resiliency or flexibility level of candidates of employment by defining the resiliency criteria. 4. Employees should be paid competitive wages , by providing high wage rate to that person who works efficiently and effectively. For example if employees are paid on working hours base and one employee works for eight hours and provides output of 200 units, while other employee works for the same hours and provides output of 250 units, second employee should be rewarded. So, that both the employees are encouraged. 5. Assigning the right duty to the right person in which he is skillful. 6.
