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.

other benefits as most of the employees feel
that their salary is low as compared to other
organisations, it is disproportionate with
workload and were dissatisfied with it, should
involve employees in the decision making
process and should try to utilize their skill to
the optimum, should create opportunities for
career advancement, should give due
recognition to its internal employees when
there are new positions within the organisation
and should also appreciate employee’s input
in the organisation when they meet
organisational goals.

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.
