Employee turnover has become a great concern and sleepless night of human resource managers. Recently, many researches had been conducted to answer the question why employees wish to change their jobs. The majority of these studies are trying to find out what are the factors affecting their decisions. These kinds of studies are tapping at the behavioral aspect of turnover. However, in banking sector, there have not been many studies on the attitudinal aspect of turnover. This is a gap in studying on employee turnover. The purpose of this study is to fill the gap and answer the question under the approach on the attitudinal side. This kind of view on turnover is originated by the idea that beliefs and attitude have an extent of guidance on behavior intention and actual behavior. If we can change their attitude and limit their behavioral intention, the chance of their actual turnover behavior shall be reduced.

<p>To reduce unemployment and reliance on expatriate workers, the Saudi Arabian government has been implementing a Saudization programme to replace expatriates with Saudis. This has succeeded in the public sector, but not in the private sector, except in banking, which is perceived as a white-collar occupation and acceptable in Saudi society. As such, this study investigates the impact of Saudization on recruitment and retention in the banking sector to see what lessons have been learned and what action is required. A systematic literature review was conducted, followed by questionnaires with 48 branch managers, and interviews with 12 Human Resource managers of key banks.</p><p>The findings show that Saudization has an impact on several aspects of recruitment and retention in the banking sector, in particular, banks must provide specific training to Saudi recruits, revise working hours and promote the attractiveness of the post. Adopting such practices can benefit Saudi banking and contribute to the fulfillment of Saudization.  </p>

Human resource managers (HRMs) can use electronic-human resource management (E-HRMs) tools to improve human resources practices, including recruitment and selection of employees. Grounded in the theoretical framework of a unified theory of acceptance (UTAUT), this present qualitative case study investigated the potential barriers that influence the implementation and use of E-HRMs in Thailand's business sector. Human resource professionals from the business sector, including hotels in Thailand, were the study participants. Semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions were used as data collection instruments. Qualitative data collected was analyzed using thematic content analysis. The challenges impact the recruitment and selection process by making the employment process complex and poor selection of employees. HRMs should support E-HRMs as the advanced technologies to improve recruitment and selection of competent employees. In conclusion, E-HRMs are effective information systems that support electronic recruitment and selection of qualified employees.

Hiring is likely a more critical process for an organization, which might be possible through distinct procedures. Simultaneously, employee selection process has vital importance in which organizations adopt numerous methods and techniques to assess the dynamic individual. Many researchers have claimed that there are diverse factors that affect the employee selection process. Despite, this study investigates the effect of prejudice and references on the employee selection process within the context of banking sector in Pakistan. To this end, primary data were collected through questionnaire distribution among 400 human resource managers of all levels, that is, top, middle and first-line managers within the period of October 2015 to May 2016. Subsequently, 310 surveys were acquired for final analysis that indicates 78 per cent accuracy in the response rate. Furthermore, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) techniques were applied to research findings using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS. 20.0). It is revealed that prejudice (P) and reference (R) have a significant correlation on the employee selection process. However, the levels of intensity are quite different in each sub-attribute as thereafter demonstrated hierarchically. Finally, our research proposes few future studies for the research scholars and practitioners.


What causes attrition and break of psychological contract in Information Technology (IT) sector, why they pose a serious problem to human resource managers and how they can be arrested are focal points of the present study. In any organisation the only living resources are human resources. This animate resource has the ability of rational and independent thinking. So, more the gap between employees’ expectations prior to their entry and what they actually get , the more is the chance of attrition. Organisations based on Information Technology are, in fact, skill-based industry. So, in such organisations attrition means loss of skill and expertise. Present researchers have found out the factors of psychological contract-breach and psychological contract violation leading to attrition. Forecasting attrition is indeed very difficult. Therefore, two sets of factors have separately been identified in the present article – a) factors responsible for breaking psychological contract and b) factors behind attrition. Attempts have been made here to find out the common factors affecting both psychological contract and attrition. In doing so, they at first have taken the help of previous literatures. Then through questionnaire they have collected the responses of 266 respondents of a Kolkata-based IT organization to find out causes of attrition. Method of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) has been used for the purpose. Five significant components of attrition-problem have been found similar to the factors of breaking psychological contract. Finally, the researchers have introduced a new factor i.e., effect of technological change on psychological contract and attrition. This research work will help human resource managers to identify and control causes of breaking psychological contract and of attrition. There is a scope for future studies on the newly introduced factor.


Most researches on psychological contract are conducted in the banking sector while limited local enquiries focused on the experiences of the survivor-managers in developing economy particularly in Nigeria. This study therefore, examines the cultural factors influencing PC experiences and responses among survivor-managers in Nigeria. The study adopted a qualitative approach and more specifically interviews. Data were analysed using empirically driven thematic analysis. The findings revealed that; unemployment, values of dependency, corruption, family obligations, beliefs, spirituality among others shape attitudes and responses of the survivor-managers' with respect to downsizing exercise. Therefore, human resource managers who are part of the downsizing exercise should embrace open and transparent process as well as being sensitive to the wellbeing of the victims and survivors to reduce the negative psychological contract experiences and responses among Survivor-managers. In addition, the research created awareness on the need to diversify research in terms of methods adopted.
