ABSTRACT

Productivity is very important issue for an organization. There are several factors on which

productivity of an organization depends upon. Employee’s turnover is one of these factors.

Staff turnover may cause serious problems in the effectiveness of the organisation if it is not

addressed by top management. High staff turnover rate may jeopardize efforts to attain

organisational objectives. When an employee leaves the organization the present employees

have to fill the gap until a new employee is appointed. Employees’ turnover impacts on

employee performance and organizational effectiveness because they get disrupted on their

daily work performance. National tobacco enterprise (Eth.) is faced with a high rate of staff

turnover each year and this leads to poor employee performance which in turn impacts on

organizational effectiveness. This research focuses on the impact of employee turnover factors

on employee performance and organisational effectiveness at National Tobacco Enterprise -

Ethiopia. The research was conducted between Jan – May 2017. The research design used in

his study was causal. The survey method was used with questionnaire as instrument, using 5

point Likert scale with responses desired at continuous variable scale, collecting data from 385

employees of National Tobacco Enterprise taking a sample. The conclusion of the research

was that Poor opportunity for advancement, Job dissatisfaction, Disproportionate salary,

Lack of recognition, Unfair treatment, Working conditions as employee turnover factors were

having significant impact on employee performance while Conflict With Superior as employee

turnover factor was found to be not significantly affecting employee performance of National

Tobacco Enterprise, Ethiopia. Poor working conditions were found to be having greatest

impact followed by Disproportionate salary. Job dissatisfaction, Disproportionate salary, Lack

of recognition, Unfair treatment, Poor working conditions as employee turnover factors have

significant impact on organisational effectiveness while Poor opportunity for advancement

and Conflict with superior were found to be not significantly affecting organisational

effectiveness of National Tobacco Enterprise, Ethiopia. Job dissatisfaction was found to be

having greatest impact followed by Disproportionate salary. Five employee turnover factors

namely Job dissatisfaction, Disproportionate salary, Lack of recognition, Unfair treatment

and Poor working conditions have significantly affect the employee performance and

subsequently organisational effectiveness. The recommendations extended to Top

management include improving working conditions within the organisation by improving the

working environment, making job description more interesting by adding some challenge job

tasks, boredom free and conducive to work for long hours. Top management should look into

the matter of salary and other benefits as this is major significant factor for employee turnover

and significantly affecting employee performance and organisational effectiveness.

Keywords: Employee turnover, employee performance, Organisational effectiveness

INTRODUCTION

Staff turnover may cause serious

problems in the effectiveness of the

organisation if top management does not

address it. According to Hamermesh (2001),

staff turnover may affect service rendered by

the organisation and it may cause delays in

meeting customer demand. Porter and Steers

(1973) compiled ‘expectation set’ to divide

the causes of turnover into four groups of

factors, namely personal, organization-wide,

work environmental and job related factors.

They made use of the concept of ‘met

expectations’ to explain employee turnover.

According to Long, Ajagbe, Nor and

Suleiman (2012) , the concept of met

expectations was defined as a discrepancy

between what a person encounters on a job in

the form of positive and negative experiences

and what he or she expects to encounter. A

person will be inclined to leave when his or

her expectations are not being met. An

individual’s job satisfaction or dissatisfaction

also depends upon the extent to which one

perceives that one’s needs are being met.

According to Allen (2008),

organization wide causes of employee

turnover include Herzberg’s hygiene factors

such as development/ training and promotion

policies, compensation, working conditions,

working hours and job security. Previous

research findings have indicated that

dissatisfaction with human resource policies,

career advancement opportunities, and

compensation packages (pay and benefits) are

negatively associated with employee turnover.

Job related causes of low job satisfaction and

employee turnover include intrinsic

motivators (the nature of job requirements,

autonomy, challenging work and a sense of

achievement), as well as job stress and

feedback (Kasimati, 2011; Sulaiman &

Ogunsina, 2011). According to Houkes and

Bakker (2003), employees will leave when

better growth opportunities and more

challenging jobs are offered by other

organizations.

However, most turnover actions have

negative impact on organizations. According

to Swanson (1979), high performance is the

eventual goal of any organization’s

stakeholders and it is a key measurement of

progress. The performance of any

organization is contingent upon the quality of

its human capital, and institutions should

invest and retain their employees. This can be

achieved through executive coaching and

education, training, mentoring, and closely

monitoring the benefits that accrue from these

interventions.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Among employee turnover factors,

some are external factors mainly the labor

markets and institutional factors such as

physical working conditions, pay, job skills,

supervision and so on and others are employee

personal characteristics such as intelligence

and aptitude, personal history, sex, interests,

age, length of service and may more. There

are also factors related to employee’s reaction

to job, including aspects as job satisfaction,

job involvement and job expectations. When

an employee leaves the organization the

present employees have to fill the gap until a

new employee is appointed. Employees’

turnover impacts on employee performance

because they get disrupted on their daily work

performance. The organizations spend lot of

money on the recruitment and training of new

staff members each year due to high turnover

rates (Dlamini-Zuma, 2009).

In Ethiopia, there are similar

challenges too. Researchers have identified

three published researches conducted on

employee turnover. Fursso , Aman Racho

(2015) researched on the causes and effects of

Employees’ turnover: The case of Oromia

water works design and supervision enterprise

; Melaku ,Yohannes (2014) researched on

Factors affecting employee turnover and its

impact on Ethiopian Evangelical Church

Mekane Yesus ; Wallelegn, Beruk(2013),

assessment of professional employees

turnover causes at bank of Abyssinia but no

research has been conducted on the effects of

employee turnover on employee performance

and subsequently organizational effectiveness.

The purpose of this research is therefore, to

find out the employee turnover factors that

affect the employee performance and

subsequently National Tobacco Enterprise

(Eth.) effectiveness. National tobacco

enterprise (Eth.) is faced with a high rate of

staff turnover each year and this leads to poor

employee performance which in turn impacts

on organizational effectiveness. When an

employee leaves the organization the current

employees have to fill the gap until a new

employee is fixed.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES

The main aim of this study is to

investigate the effects of staff turnover on

employee performance and organizational

effectiveness at National tobacco Enterprise -

Ethiopia.

SIGNIFICANCE & SCOPE OF THE

STUDY

The findings of this study will make

concrete recommendations to National

Tobacco Enterprise (Eth.) about the causative

factors of employee turnover which affect the

employee performance and subsequently the

Organisational effectiveness. The research

will throw light on those factors which are

instrumental to degrade employee

performance and subsequently organizational

performance. The organization can take

measures to improve these factors which

ultimately reduce staff turnover. This study

will also benefit other organizations which are

facing the problem of employee turnover. The

study will be applicable to all such public

sector enterprises in particular and all

enterprises in general in Ethiopia.

LITERATURE REVIEW

According tomMathis and Jackson

(2007), staff turnover can be broken down into

internal and external types. Internal staff

turnover strategies involve promoting current

employees, adding new responsibilities to job

titles and bringing in entry-level employees

due to company growth. External staff

turnover implies that employees are leaving

the company to seek new jobs, raise families

or enter retirement.

Mboya Deogratius (2009) research on

impact of labour turnover in Public

organizations, in which he concluded that

differences in payment of salaries and

provision of fringe benefits forced those who

are lowly paid to seek for greener pastures in

other organizations, also lack of working

facilities and equipment leads to turnover, for

example, lack of teaching and learning

facilities in school forced teachers to seek for

alternative jobs.

Mullins (2005) assessed the causes and

effects of labour turnover on banking industry.

The result show that the turnover was mainly

caused by low remuneration packages,

unequal treatment among employees and lack

of communication between the management

and staff of other department. Although it may

be challenging to improve worker

performance and reduce staff turnover, Crow

and Hartman (2007), suggest that management

should at least focus on the tangible aspects of

work that create frustration and distract

employees from the duties at hand. These

aspects may include pay inequities, abusive

supervision, favouritism, poor working

conditions and poor communications.

A Study conducted by Taylor PJ,

(2007) explains that there exists a positive

relation between bonuses, reward systems,

other financial benefits and organizational

effectiveness. High rate of employee turnover

decreases the organization’s incentives for

providing employee training programs and

hence reduces productivity. Job matching

theory on the other hand, states that employee

turnover can be helpful for employees and

employers to stay away from being locked in

matches of sub optimal permanently, which as

a result increases productivity (Manning 2002)

Page (2001) by his research concluded

that the escalation in the rate of labour

turnover is a major concern for businesses and

is clearly impacting on organisational

performance. Clients begin to doubt the

management of such an organisation and

unsure whether they should continue to do

business with an organisation with higher staff

turnover.

Dlamini-Zuma (2009) states that staff

turnover places unnecessary pressure on staff

members who are at work. The remaining

staff experiences an increased workload

leading to low morale, high levels of stress

and therefore absenteeism. Employees also

have to work extra hours to compensate for

the work of those who resigned which leads to

organisational effectiveness (Robbins and

Decenzo, 2001).

Johnson (2006) said employee

turnover is very expensive. When employee

leave an organization, it has become

imperative for that specific organization to

make a costly replacement as soon as possible.

Gardner (2009) asserts that staff turnover may

have devastating effects on service rendered

by the organisation and these may bring

deficits in meeting customer demand. This

leads to customer irritation and increase in

complaints.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The target population of this study is

all the employees (944) who are working in

National Tobacco Enterprise Ethiopia out of

which 336 employees were selected as a

sample of the study. The research design used

is causal research design with the objective of

identifying the impact of seven independent

variables on employee performance and

organisational effectiveness (dependent

variables). Data was collected from the

employees through primary sources using

questionnaire as instrument. A survey

questionnaire was prepared using five point

Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 5=

strongly agree) to measure the response on

continuous scale. The employees were

selected using Systematic random sampling

with the total sample size of 336. Descriptive

and inferential statistics was used as data

analysis tool. Pilot study was conducted on 25

employees to check the reliability and validity

of the questionnaire. Reliability was checked

by used using Cronbach alpha to understand

how closely the set of items are related as a

group or factor which ranged from 0.81 to

0.93 which shows that the questionnaire is

highly reliable.

performance and organizational effectiveness

was found to be medium with mean value 3.75

and 3.53.

In order to determine the extent to

which the predictor variables explain the

variance in the outcome, multiple regression

analysis was performed. Normality of data

was ensured by seeing the skewness and

kurtosis level which was found under

acceptable level 2 (skewness / standard error =

< 2). By viewing the correlation matrix we

can check the multi-collinearity among the

independent variables.

DIRECTIONS FOR FURTHER

RESEARCH

This study included only seven dimensions

of employee turnover factors that affect

employee performance and organizational

effectiveness, there could be some other

relevant dimensions that may be perceived as

important by organizations and employees,

but those were excluded from this study.

Future researchers, therefore, may consider

more and other dimensions of employee

turnover factors that affect employee

performance and organizational effectiveness.
