The Employee turnover rates vary on a large scale by the types of business and the economic health of the region where the companies are located (Owen, 2001). Together with rise of large scale of firms in nineteenth century, then the agricultural importance was decreasing in the region so growing number of employees were employed by those particular firms. Then by this context began that interest in measuring employee turnover and understanding its caused (Carter, 1988).
Especially in advanced industrial counties, the employee turnover rate going high in the period of economic growth due to new Job opportunities tend employees to change their job voluntarily. In the other hand turnover rate declines where the countries the economic downturns as enterprises cut costs by avoiding new recruitment which deter employees to change their job easily (Andisi, 2006).

ReplyDeleteThank you Mafaz for adding debatable thought. Employee Voluntary turnover may not always be a big problem for an organization as if the exit of poor performers would create some few effects to the organization than depart of high performers (Abelson, 1987; Campion, 1991). It is beneficial that functional turnover occur due to the lower performers depart the organization and it will make room for new and potentially higher performers to come in.(Abelson & Baysinger, 1984; Dalton, Krackhardt, & Porter, 1981).
