Factors influencing employee turnover in the manufacturing industry

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate: 1) the extent that compensation and benefits have a negative impact on employee turnover, 2) the extent that career development has a negative impact on employee turnover, and 3) the extent that work-life balance has a positive effect on employee turnover. The population of this study comprised employees engaged in manufacturing, out of which the sample group, selected by purposive sampling, included 410 target people. The instrument used to collect data was a questionnaire. Data were analyzed by frequency, mean, standard deviation, and multiple regression analysis. The study results revealed that work-life balance had a significantly positive effect on employee turnover. Conversely, compensation and benefits along with career development had significantly negative effects on employee turnover.
