Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Remuneration on employee turnover in private hospitals Samburu County.Methodology: This study adopted descriptive survey research design and was conducted in ten private hospitals in Samburu County. Information was issued by 71 medical practitioners such as senior doctors, senior nurses, senior pharmacists and senior medical technologists of each of the private hospitals in Samburu county. The71 medical practitioners were sampled using convenience sampling methods because medical practitioners in a hospital setting were generally very busy hence data was collected through closed ended questionnaires from the available ones. Linear regression was used to test each hypothesis while multiple regression analysis was used to measure the effects of renumeration on employee turnover in private hospitals Samburu County. The analysis was later presented using tables and detailed explanations.Results: The study discovered that there was a positive relationship and statistically significant between that renumeration and employee turnover. That simply explained meant that how employees are rewarded at the end of the agreed contract duration or at the end of the month play a very key part in determining whether they will leave in the near future or not. Poor and inconsiderate renumeration will often make them want leave and look for other better paying ventures.Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice: Human resource managers should ensure that renumeration structure is reviewed where employees receive all the benefits gotten at various job groups without biasness. Once an employee attains the required qualifications, they should automatically be enrolled to the improved renumeration structure without too much bureaucracies. This will motivate employees to work harder so as to attain their personal goals in the job ladder. Future researchers should aim to concentrate on other regions in Kenya to determine whether renumeration will be the key causal determinant on employee turnover.

Sleepless Night

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.

Organisational Behaviour

Employee turnover has always been the real issue in the fields of organisational behaviour, human resource management and labour economics. The issue of why people leave their workplace is always a key concern for human resource managers in various industries and their organisations because of the costly effect that comes from it. Although the vast study on employee turnover, the information regarding this issue is very scarce in the scope of construction industry in Malaysia. The purpose of this research is therefore to determine the factors influencing employees’ turnover in construction companies and the strategies taken by the companies to retain employees. A total of 45 sets of questionnaires were collected. The questionnaires collected were then analysed by frequency distribution. For the first objective, the findings revealed that the studied factors influenced employee turnover from a neutral to fair extent. For the second objective, all the strategies mentioned could be taken and used as retention strategies by the company from a neutral or fair extent and hence its practicality and effectiveness to retain employees.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of remuneration factors on staff turnover in humanitarian sectorMethodology: The study adopted descriptive survey design. The population of this study was drawn from the employees of various NGOs registered with the 4 NGO coordinating bodies.Data was collected through questionnaires; it was prepared in readiness for analysis by editing, handling blank responses, coding, categorizing and keying into Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) computer software for analysis. SPSS was used to produce frequencies, descriptive and inferential statistics that were used to derive conclusions and generalizations regarding the population. Specifically, correlation and regression statistics were used.Results: The study findings revealed that remuneration was important in explaining staff turnover. This is supported by a p value 0.000 which means that remuneration is a statistically significant predictor of staff turnover.Policy recommendation: The study recommended that the human resource managers should establish competitive human resource practices that are meant to control staff turnover. For example it is recommended to the management of NGOs in Afghanistan to conduct a market survey in order to establish the optimal remuneration levels for NGO employee in order to control for the detriments that are associated with staff turnover.

Depth Interviews

This study attempts to narrow the gaps that exist in the literature about branding in the context of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The research method used is a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with Owners, Managing Directors, and Human Resource Managers in MSMEs. The results of this study indicate that the UMKM employer branding is still limited to intention. It can be seen from the absence of programs or activities that support employer branding programs that are felt directly by their employees. This is induced by the focus of MSME businessmen who are still on fundamental issues such as financial constraints and the absence of loyal consumers. The results of this study can be used by educators or stakeholders in Indonesian MSMEs as a reference for formulating employer branding approaches and strategies that are in line with the characteristics of MSMEs in Indonesia.

In this empirical study, the authors made an attempt to examine the challenges faced by the human resource managers and employees as well as the benefits extended to the employees in the non-star hotel segment in the city of Kolkata It was also endeavored to ascertain the standards maintained by these hotels specifically the hygiene, safety, work environment and to mandatory legal and regulatory compliances. The results show that while these hotels were profitable and enjoyed a healthy market, the human resource practices were unhealthy and discriminatory in nature. Employees were neither provided with minimum wages and benefits nor have the establishments shown any interest in adhering to the mandatory compliances. This could largely be attributed to predominance of largely unskilled or inadequately qualified employees and a large pool of outsourced manpower.

Strategic Networking

The study of organisational networking has suggested that a joint effort applied to some task is often to the advantage of both parties. Recent studies have indicated that many strategic networks of Japanese firms have been both strategic and also permeable – to the extent that each firm takes on some of the characteristics of the other in order to fulfil a task. However the emergent characteristic of ‘downsizing’, which hit the Western firms a decade ago, has now moved to Japan where their reluctant human resource managers have begun to ‘hollow out’ their workforce – and much of the effect falls upon the middle management cadre. In turn we are seeing in Europe, across the Japanese production subsidiaries, that they have embraced the precepts of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) in the form of applications programmes promoted by SAP, Oracle, Baan, PeopleSoft and others – so as to be better informed of the data in their pan-European enterprise. Our thesis is that the effects of the hollowing out needs to be very carefully managed in both the single enterprise and between multi-enterprises. And the implementation of ERP needs precise management in multi-national firms in general, and Japanese firms in particular, if they are to engage in strategic networking with any degree of permeability – since they will have little resultant organisational slack to generate new organisational learning.

PurposeExpatriation is known to be stressful. The purpose of this paper is to examine stress as an antecedent of substance use (SU) during expatriation and related effects on expatriates’ work adjustment. Moreover, the study sheds light on individual-level moderators (i.e. gender and prior international experience) and organizational-level moderators (i.e. organizational social support) that might condition the stress–SU link.Design/methodology/approachThis work adopts a quantitative survey approach. It is based on two studies, one of 205 expatriates and one of 96 expatriate–supervisor dyads. The data were collected through personal networks and with the help of multinational companies.FindingsThis research shows that stress at a medium- to high-level increases SU among male expatriates, but not among female expatriates. Expatriates with substantial prior international experience were identified as being more prone to react to stress by resorting to SU. It also provides evidence that SU to aid coping harms professional adjustment. Moreover, some implications relating to professional adjustment are discussed.Research limitations/implicationsSU was self-reported; this may have deterred users from accurately reporting their consumption levels. Moreover, convenience samples have been used. Preventive actions limiting SU, such as well-being programs, could be sponsored by local human resource managers in order to limit this phenomenon.Originality/valueThis work is one of the first to analyze SU among expatriates. It shows that some expatriates are more at risk than others of resorting to such use to cope with the hardships of expatriation.
