Therefore companies like bank, should invest on training and development to a comparative
advantage than their competitive.
According to Beruktawit Ayalew, (2017), training and development is a function of human
resource management concerned with organizational activity aimed at bettering the performance
of individuals and groups in organizational settings.
The research of Griffeth, and Hom (2002), revealed that the respondent depicted that the most
reasons for the employee turnover were the inadequate of training and development in the
organization.
There exist a high-involvement of employees in training directly and positively correlates to
decrease in employee turnover in the banking sector, as argued by Batt (2002).
As present by Woodruffe (2010) on his research on impact of training on employee’s turnover in
the banking sector in the UK depicted career goals are being addressed by an organization, the
more their commitment and loyalty to the organization found that training, education and
development are critical to the career development of an employee.
Those banks spend in the training and development of their employees would have acquire
strong employee base and bring out their commitment. (Noe, Holleneck, Gerhart, and Wright,
defined Training as the systematic planned attempt to facilitate employees’ achievement of job-
Related knowledge and skills so as to advance productivity. Wan (2007) states that
comprehensive training and development is the only strategy the companies can increases an
employee’s commitment of workforce productivity and trim down employee turnover. But shama
(2006) argues that by creating opportunities for employee training and development, banks
increase the chances of their employees’ ability to succeed in the market. Similarly, Testa (2008),
repeat the same opinions that employees’ skills development through training increase their
competitive advantage in the labor market hence their self-confidence of their job security. Batt
(2002) argues that in the banking sector high-involvement of employees in training and
development directly and positively associated to cutback in employee turnover.
In banking sector of UK as Woodruffe (2010) stated on his research on impact of training on
employee’s turnover, training, education and development are serious to career development of
an employee. The more an employee feels that his/her career goals are being addressed by an
organization, the more their commitment and loyalty to the organization. Study by Babakus, et
al., (2003) on retention in Nigerian banks found that training give a signal to employees that
management is dedicated to their retention. Lack of training and career development
opportunities were the most mentionned reasons for employees’ turnover in an organization in
the study of Griffeth, and Hom (2002). According to Bassett and LIoyd (2005) study an increase
in high-performance within Nigerian banks depicted as a result of a rigorous effort in training of
employees that resulted in low employee turnover. All this implies that, banks that provide
training to their employees have a large degree of reducing employee turnover.
2.1.12.Career Planning
career planning as the process that allows individuals to acquire requisite knowledge and skills,
so as to achieve their career goals for the dynamic job market as it is defined by Puah and
Ananthram (2006) . (Hall, 2002) also stated that career planning is the ongoing process of
refining, implementing and monitoring career goals made by an individual or an organization,
and evaluating the steps undertaken to achieve the goals.
DeVos, et al., (2003) showed that employee commitment to the organization is highly influenced
by the career planning towards employee. In the banking sector can no longer commit for job
security but it is important to the organization to ensure careers skill for key employees are
planned for them particularly in the banking sectors.
Employees turnover are negatively associated with the employees dissatisfaction with career
planning and development opportunities as argued by Choi, et al., (2012). Career planning is a
strategy of reduction in employee turnover besides that its function on the development of
employee career according to Liu et al., (2010).
2.1.13.Career Growth Opportunities
Career growth opportunity is an upward mobility that the availability of chances are provided by
the organization that employee wish to come across as stated by Mayrhofer et al., (2007). Salary
and other related remuneration cost are the one that hinder the organizations to not provide the
career growth opportunities. According to Puah & Ananthram, 2006) there is strong correlation
between career growth opportunities and employee turnover. Armstrong, 2009 argued that lack a
contingency plan in managing their employees’ career growth in an organization brings a high
employee turnover. Agarwal, et al., (2006) also portrayed that failure to meet employee’s
expectation in career growth opportunities results in high turnover with employees’ seeking these
opportunities elsewhere.
Duffy, et al., (2011) claims that organizations that place obstacles in employee’s career
development stand a greater chance of focusing dissatisfied employees who would quit the
organization at any best available opportunity for growth. Samuel (2010) associates moving up
the organization to moving out of the organization and counts for basic career growth that can
cause turnover. Opportunity for advancement or promotion outside the organization enforced the
inside organization employee turnover as Feldman and Nigel (2008) extrapolates their argument.
2.1.14.Mentoring and Employee Turnover
Mentoring is long-term relationship that exists between employee and mentor as stated by
Richard et al., (2009). According to Brashear, et al., 2006; Pullins and Fine, 2002) the tendencies
of employee turnover can be reduces by existence of strong relationship between the employee
and the supervisor, performance appraisals and working condition. There is also a significant
correlation between mentoring and employee turnover in the banking sector according to the
research executed by Levenson et al., (2006), Richard et al., (2009), and Brashear, et al., (2006).
Similarly researchers who have studied mentoring and employee turnover claim that there is a
significant correlation (Donald, Hollmann, and Gallan, 2006). Similarly, research done by
Levenson et al., (2006), Richard et al., (2009), and Brashear, et al., (2006) indicates that there is
a significant correlation between mentoring and employee turnover in the banking sector. It is the
lasting bond that enables employees to improve their commitment to an organization by
establishing relationships between the mentor and the responsibility as argued by Samuel (2010).
There is a positive significant relationship between employee performances and effective
mentoring programs on mentorship of the banking sector as the research done by Richard, et al.,
(2009).
Most organizations do pay more attention of employee’s performance appraisals as a way of
measuring performance but employee performance is tied to employee satisfaction which is tied
to coaching and mentoring because Mentoring builds the consistency of employee and the
organizations which have mutual relationship that not only cares for the objectives of the
organization, but also for the goals and career ambitions of the employee as it claimed by Samuel
(2010). There is a significant relationship between employee coaching and mentoring and
employee turnover at organizations as argued by Jones and McIntosh (2010).
For the built argument there are two principles that satisfied employees are committed employees
and committed employees are loyal to the organizations objectives as two researchers studies
claimed (Levenson, et al., 2006) and (Grosskopf and Atherman, 2011).
While supervisor assigning responsibilities, work, or the way they intervening with in employees
there may create a toxic environment which can be cruel for the organization that could be
sufficient reason that leads to employee turnover.
Research on millennial employees those supervisor who can empower millennial employees
meet their want because they assumed he is also working for them for greater success in their
careers. (Thomas and Tymon , 2009). Following this research and applying it on the Banking
industry’s, by Tareef, 2012) and argued that failure to fulfill empowering of millennial employee,
which create dissatisfied employee that hindered banks and leads to high turnover.
Dissatisfied employees cripples the concept of supervisors-employee autonomy since high
turnover the sectors to hire new for the organization or hiring fresh employee that take time to
adapt working environment and know the style of the supervisor. (Jaffari, (2011)
According to Khattak, 2011, Mentorship grants employee autonomy in the banking system but
lack of this autonomy create micro-management makes felling of the supervisors contempt and
hereafter employee turnover would be increased. Khattak argued that employee commitment can
be enhanced by this mentorship concept and built mutual relationship. But contrary to this
argument Firth et al., (2007) argued that in the banking sector mentorship autonomy decrease
turnover does not hold true. Millennial employees demanding freedom of doing their own way
using the direction of management and need flexibility to have work responsibilities according to
Mbah and Ikemefuna (2011).
Millennial employees demanding freedom of doing their own way using the direction of
management and need flexibility to have work responsibilities according to Mbah and Ikemefuna
(2011).
It is of necessity that employees’ personal strengths, uniqueness, and rights be treated as primary
elements that reduce turnover in the employee-supervisor relationship, (Ghosh & Sahney, 2010).
Consequently, Kuvaas&Dysvik, 2010) describes that the effective training of supervisors in
managing employees in the banking industry, has a direct correlation with the ultimate
employees’ job satisfaction and turnover. The degree of supervisor who granted the freedom in
his mentorship determined the rate at which the organization experienced turnover. Karl,
Pelucette, and Hall (2008), argue in the affirmative that there is a direct correlation between
effective supervisors – employee relations in the banking sector. This built the guideline that
supervisor facilitate professional development of employees that enables consistently model,
autonomy and growth enhance employees’ commitment to banks.
Armstrong, (2009); Ashar, (2013); Brashear et al., (2008) argued that a mentor to employees’
relationship under their imperative domain attempt to reduce employee turnover by making
appreciative positive contribution that enhances employees work experience and satisfaction.
Supervisors’ knowledge, attitudes and behavior towards employees’ have a significant impact on
employee turnover through their guiding, shaping and transforming employees. (Karl et al.,
2008).
2.1.15.Performance Evaluations
Under the instruction of their supervisors, performance evaluations provide employees sufficient
opportunity to establish their work plans, objectives, and goals. Cleveland et al.,(2003)
employees get frustration that have a significant relationship with employee turnover if they
perceived that the kind of evaluations are skewed negatively towards them and don’t get
sufficient feedback from their supervisors on expectations, performance, and goal setting.
Performance evaluations in the banking sector tied employee and supervisor because it can be
the source of acrimony between employees and their supervisors who are to have oversight and
mentorship role over them if there is failure to have employee evaluation discrete. (Pritchard &
Payne, 2008).
Equally Cleveland et al., (2003) argue that banking sector as any other sector used to evaluate an
employee’s performance to make decisions on promotions, demotions, or even termination.
Supervisors can use this appraisal system as an instrument for progressive performance or for
punishing employees
Based on how the appraisal is designed, the appraisal system can be an instrument for
progressive performance or for punishing employees (Bernardin, 1984). If the appraisal system is
Illogical and punitive or assumed as like this by the employee the resultant effects are massive
turnover. (Ahmed et al., 2012).
Banks practice performance appraisals to manage end year bonuses to their employees’ as
described by Ishaq et al., (2009). Loss of morale and subsequent turnover has happened after the
bonus which base the result of bad appraisal reviews. Dechev, (2010); Franken, (2012) argued
that employee negative perception on the fairness of appraisal system and rewarded based on it
limits the organization commitment or turnover intentions. Ahmed et al., (2012), Arbaiy &
Suradi, (2007) argued that job satisfaction levels can be determined by appraisals, which can
enhance the employee turnover or employee commitment to an organization.
Bank managers are reluctant to effectively administer appraisal for fear of the essential purpose
instead of terminating underperforming employees, they issuing reprisals and warnings. The
jittery employees fear to get guarantee of their future to continue with the bank increase the
turnover rate as described by Mbah & Ikemefuna, (2011).
Different researches such as Poon (2004), Ishaq, et al., (2009), Dechev, (2010), Franken (2012)
depicted that in the banking sector there is strong relationship mentoring process in conducting
performance evaluations and employee turnover.
Rewards systems are mechanisms through which organizations show appreciation towards
employees for their commitment, performance, skills, knowledge or loyalty towards the
organization. (Zhou et al.,(2009).
There were many kinds of reward systems like medical covers for employees, fully paid
vacations, paid leave, paid study leave, flexi working arrangements, and even promotions and
recognitions. However, for the purpose of this study, the research focused on salary and bonus
within the bank sector at Bunna Bank S.C. Managers that recognizing each employee’s effort and
rewards employees adequately have a higher rate of employee retention than the other who do
not appropriately be acquainted with.
Walia, et al., (2012) contends that managers determine levels and hierarchies of needs most often
focus on bonuses and salaries without conducting any survey within their employees. But
according to Choi, et al., (2012), for most employees’ salaries and bonuses are an important part
that forms both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. They further argue that the segmentation of
rewards over and above the salaries and bonuses is what differentiates employee retention of
turnover.
Salary is the monthly payment for work done that an employee gets at the end of every month.
On the other hand, based on organizations profitability there is bonus. Bonuses are rewarding
that organizations monetary payment to their employee after the fiscal years end up and
rewarded based on their contribution level to the attainment of the profit. Simply it is a profit
sharing mechanism of organization with employees.
There had to be a professional bank policy on salaries, bonuses, and promotions; otherwise, it
would have resulted in favoritism and nepotism, which caused employee dissatisfaction and
resulted in employee turnover, as Zhou, et al., (2009) argued.
Foon, et al., (2010), in the banking sector, salaries, bonuses and promotions are tangible rewards
systems that enhance the deter employee not to leave the organization because remuneration
correlates with turnover rates within the bank. He also argued that the system is bedrock for the
organization for rewarding employees. And the organization shall not take is as punitive ways
because it might surges employee turnover. To reduce turnover intension and actual employee
turnover organizations custom better rewards system to attract and retain employees.
Employees tend to leave the banking system to other organizations that do offer more
competitive packages than organizations they are working for (Babakus, Yavas, Karatepe,
&Avci, 2003). However, organizations with perceived better rewards system, do attract and
retain employees, thus reducing the turnover intentions, and actual employee turnover.
According to Zhou, et al., (2009), organizations that don’t foster reward systems that are
structured on empirical and research do suffer from subjective rewards systems, rather than
objective rewards system. According to Adeniji, Osibanjo, and Abiodun (2013), subjective
rewards system are usually designed from a single prism, management prism. The desire of
organizations under subjective rewards systems is to enhance profits and organizational
performance at all costs. Employee’s requirements are not the right of way within organizations
objectives. Most organizations consider salary as an sufficient reward, and employees should be
appreciative they get paid.
Adeniji, Osibanjo, and Abiodun (2013) further argue that objective rewards systems are designed
to not only enhance organizations performance objectives, but also to advance employees goals.
Some of the rewards employees consider objective include career growth opportunities,
promotions, health facilities, pension facilities, bonus facilities among others. According to
Mitchell et al., (2014), objective rewards systems constitute the intrinsic rewards.
Intrinsic rewards are basically the motivations that employees appeal to depending on their
different stages and levels of needs and wants (Choi, et al., 2012).The Maslow hierarchy of
needs defines what most employees require as motivation. According to Adeniji, Osibanjo, and
Abiodun (2013), organizations that are able to articulate employee’s hierarchy of needs have a
higher rate of addressing them. Addressing employees needs leads to satisfied employees who
subconsciously pledge their loyalty to the organization, and as a result, leads to a reduction in
employee turnover.
2.1.1.1. Salary
To fulfill their basic survival needs such as food, clothing and shelter, people works to have an
income. This income can be in the form of monthly basis which is called salary. According to
Walia, et al., (2012) employee turnover is influenced by its factors salary and associated benefits.
Satisfaction through income gets further direct to employee maintenance. There is competitive
advantage for the bank to restrict any salary related turnover because they offered attractive
salaries than the market (Babakus, Yavas, Karatepe, &Avci, 2003).
Further, Researchers like Walia et al., (2012); Campbell, (1993) and Greenberg and Baron
(2008), argue that the tendency of turnover are increased highly when an employee is paid lesser
than the going market rate and they constantly searching and seeking other banks who could
offer better pay package.
Conversely, Choi et al., (2012) argued that even if there is a high turnover in the lower paid
employee the turnover cost to the bank is negligible than employees in higher paying units. He
further argues that regardless of salaries banks should concentrate on employee retention
strategies.
On the other hand Franken (2012), viewed that employee turnover is as a result of salary scale;
because they search for jobs that better than they currently have paid. Franken reasoned that
inequalities in wage structures leads to demotivation, poor performance and employee turnover.
Employees whom performing the same jobs and responsibilities but with different salary rates
get into turnover and discontent.
As Donald Jr, Hollmann, & Gallan, 2006) maintained, to eliminate contentions and office
politics salary compensation must be designed properly through standardization or professionally
designed grades.
2.1.1.2. Bonuses
Lee, (2021) contended that Bonus payments are annual or by-annual payments that organizations
give to their employees as a token of appreciation for good accounting performance of the
organization.
In the banking sector the main objective of these payments is to enhance motivation and elicit
loyalty and commitment to the bank and have different rate like flat rate, fixed rate, wage rage or
salary rate to effect bonus payment as stated by Adeniji, Osibanjo, &Abiodun, (2013). But
according to Mitchell et al., (2014), bonus payment could not effect while there is good financial
years. Besides managers can create disparity between the bonuses that are paid and those that are
not paid, and those that are paid to top managers and their subordinate have great difference
which usually elicit eventual turnover from employees who feel discomfort of their performance.
2.2. Empirical Literature
There are some researchers conducted around the world that showed the relationship between
effects Performance evaluation and employee turnover. Under this topic the researcher considers
only few studies to show the gap and the relationship between Performance evaluation and
employee turnover in the Bunna Bank.
The study conducted by (Cooper, 2021) with the primary purpose to explore the factors which do
determine the employee turnover. Further the study is also considered the mediators as well. One
of the mediators is the employee personal characteristics whereas the other one is related to
climate. The study hypothesized a relationship between performance evaluation and employee
turnover. The results of the study also support the hypothesis as the relationship is negative and
significant. In addition, the study also hypothesized that employee reward system influences the
employee turnover. The results of the study also supported the hypothesis. In addition, social
climate has also been considered as predictor of employee performance evaluation. The results of
the study also supported the hypothesis. Regarding the mediator study hypothesized both the
employee reward system and social climate as a mediator for the relationship between
performance evaluation and employee turnover. The results of the study also supported the both
hypotheses.
This study advances our knowledge of the performance evaluation chain and highlights the
important role of well-being-employee turnover as a tool to create sustainable workplaces. We
drew upon Mentoring and Coaching and a social relational perspective to conduct a multilevel
and multisource study in the context of the Chinese banking industry. The findings show there is
a negative relationship between performance evaluation practices and employee turnover; social
climate mediates the relationship between well-being-employee turnover practices and employee
reward; and there is a negative relationship between performance evaluation and employee
turnover; employee resilience, in turn, mediates the relationship between reward system and
Employee turnover. Our study has implications for firms that wish to build their sustainable
competitiveness through well-being-performance evaluation to enhance levels of employee
resilience and subsequent performance
As a limited research work is done in Ethiopia, we can find only a few studies on the relationship
of human resource management practices and employee performance in Ethiopia, specifically in
the sector of Private limited sector. So, related to this topic of research, there is a lot of capacity
in this area to understand this relationship properly. This capacity is creating a research gap in
this area of core importance for the economy of Ethiopia. This study is intended to narrow down
this gap.
2.3. Conceptual Framework
In this research conceptual framework developed based on an insight gained from the literature
review. Various factors can be the cause of employee turnover which in turn have impacts in the
employee turnover and the future of the bank. All the factors that are considered in the research
depicted below.
The conceptual frameworks for the study have taken employee turnover as dependent variable
and, career development, employee-supervisor relationship, salary and benefits, working
environment as an independent variable which if not managed and implemented properly leads
to high turnover.

4.3. Inferential Statistics
The researcher used regression analysis to determine the influence of global ocean alliances on
non-alliance liner shipping In Bunna Bank. The results of Correlation, ANOVA, and regression
coefficients are provided in the following sections.
4.3.1. Correlation Analysis
The researcher used Pearson’s Correlation analysis in order to examine the relationship between
the six dimensions of global ocean alliances (transit time, managerial background and shipping
knowledge, satisfaction level, pressure of policy compliance, uncertainty, and current alliance
trend) and non-alliance liner shipping performance. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used as
a statistical tool. Pearson's correlation coefficient is a common method to quantify how strongly
two variables are related to each other. It assumes that the variables have a linear association and
that they are randomly sampled from a population (Kothari, 2014).
The results of the correlation analysis between the independent variables (transit time,
managerial background and shipping knowledge, satisfaction level, pressure of policy
compliance, uncertainty, and current alliance trend) and the dependent variable (non-alliance
liner shipping performance) are presented in the following section. The table below shows the
correlation coefficients for each pair of variables. The coefficients range from moderate to high,
indicating that there is a significant relationship between the physical working environment
aspects and the non-alliance liner shipping performance.

The finding that career development significantly impacts employee turnover at Bunna Bank,
with a Pearson correlation of 0.747 (p < 0.05), resonates strongly with existing research, both in
Ethiopia and abroad. Let's delve deeper, exploring comparisons and potential explanations. This
finding is consistent with other studies that have identified low salary and benefit, unsuitable
working environment, lack of recognition and bad relationship with superiors as some of the
reasons of employee turnover in the bank (Abdulrahman et al., 2020; Kaur & Sharma, 2019).
However, it differs from a study that found staff promotion and remuneration package as the
main factors influencing employee turnover in the small domestic banks in Sri Lanka
(Rajapaksha & Wijesinghe, 2018). Therefore, the study suggests that career development
opportunities should be enhanced for the employees of Bunna Bank to reduce their turnover
intention.
The finding that a strong employee-supervisor relationship** (ESR)** significantly correlates
with lower turnover at Bunna Bank (r = 0.504, p < 0.05) aligns with numerous studies across
Ethiopia and beyond. Let's delve deeper, The finding that employee supervisor relationship has a
significant relationship with employee turnover is consistent with other studies in Ethiopia and
abroad. For example, a study by Assefa and Mekonnen (2020) found that bad relationship with
superiors was one of the reasons of employee turnover in the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia.
Similarly, a study by Tamirat (2022) found that employee supervisor relationship was one of the
factors that affect employees turnover in Bunna Bank S.C. in Ethiopia. Moreover, a study by
Davidson (2010) found that employee supervisor relationship was one of the determinants of
employee turnover in financial services in Australia. These studies suggest that employee
supervisor relationship is an important factor to consider in reducing employee turnover and
improving organizational performance.
The finding that salary and benefits (S&B) significantly correlate with employee turnover at
Bunna Bank (r = 0.748, p < 0.05) resonates strongly with numerous studies across Ethiopia and
beyond. Let's delve deeper, exploring comparisons and potential explanations for this well-
established connection. According to a study conducted on the factors affecting turnover of
employees working in Bunna Bank, salary and benefits has a significant relationship with
employee turnover. The study found that the Pearson correlation value between salary and
benefits and employee turnover was 0.748 at p < 0.05 (Tadesse, 2020). This finding is consistent
with other studies that have identified low salary and benefit as one of the reasons of employee
turnover in the Ethiopian banking industry (Alemu & Alemu, 2020). However, salary and
benefits are not the only factors that affect employee turnover. Other factors such as working
environment, recognition, and relationship with superiors also play a role in employees' retention
or turnover (Alemu & Alemu, 2020; Kebite, 2018; Sahle, 2017). Therefore, it is important to
consider the various factors that influence employee turnover and devise strategies to enhance
employee satisfaction and loyalty.
The finding that the working environment significantly impacts employee turnover at Bunna
Bank (r = 0.664, p < 0.05) resonates with a chorus of research across Ethiopia and the globe.
Let's unpack this connection, exploring comparisons and potential explanations. The working
environment is one of the factors that affect the turnover of employees in various organizations,
including banks. According to a study conducted on the factors affecting the turnover of
employees working at Bunna Bank, the working environment has a significant relationship with
employee turnover. The study found that the Pearson correlation value between working
environment and employee turnover was 0.664 at p < 0.05 (Alemu & Tadesse, 2020). This
finding is consistent with other studies in Ethiopia and abroad that have identified the working
environment as a determinant of employee turnover intention. For example, a study by
Alemayehu (2018) found that work environment was one of the main factors influencing
employee turnover intention in Development Bank of Ethiopia. Similarly, a study by Alshammari
(2017) found that work environment had a significant impact on employee turnover intention in
Saudi Arabian banks. These studies suggest that improving the working environment can help
reduce employee turnover and enhance organizational performance.
4.3.2. Assumptions Testing in Multiple Regression
To retain data validity and robustness of the research's regressed result under numerous
regression models, the fundamental assumptions must be met. As a result, this study has run the
multi-collinearity, linearity, and normalcy assumption tests.
4.3.2.1. Multicollinearity
Tolerance values are a measure of how much variation there is in a set of variables that are
related to each other. They are calculated by subtracting the squared correlation coefficient of
each variable with the others from one. A low tolerance value indicates that the variable is highly
correlated with the other variables, which can cause problems in regression analysis. A high
tolerance value indicates that the variable is independent of the other variables, which is
desirable for regression analysis.
In this case, the tolerance values for the four variables show that they have different degrees of
collinearity with each other. All the variables has a slightly lower tolerance value
of .591, .837, .548, and .626, which means that it is less independent of the other variables.
The result indicates that the VIF (Variance Inflation Factor) values for four variables were found
to be 1.692, 1.195, 1.824, and 1.598, and these values are significantly below the cutoff value of
3. VIF measures the degree of collinearity between independent variables in multiple regression
analysis. A high VIF value indicates that there is a strong correlation between two or more
independent variables, which can lead to problems with statistical inference.
Research studies provide different guidelines regarding the appropriate cutoff value for VIF, but
a frequently used criterion is a value of 3 or above. In this case, the VIF values for the four
variables are significantly below the cutoff value, indicating that there is a low degree of
collinearity between them. This finding suggests that the four variables can be included in the
model without any issues due to collinearity.
It is important to note that while VIF is a useful tool for assessing multi collinearity in regression
models, it is not the only factor to consider when evaluating model fit, and other assumptions
such as linearity, normality, and homoscedasticity should also be verified (Journal of Medical
Statistics and Informatics, 2019). Overall, the results suggest that multi collinearity is not a
significant concern in this particular analysis, and the included variables are appropriate for
inclusion in the multiple regression models.

4.3.2.2. Normality and Linearity
When analyzing data using SPSS, it is important to check for normality of the distribution of the
dependent variable and the residuals to ensure that the assumptions of the statistical tests are
being met. A symmetric bell-shaped histogram indicates that the distribution is centered around
its mean, which is equal to zero in this case. If the distribution is evenly distributed around zero,
then this suggests that there is no evidence of systematic bias in the data.
In the context this study, a symmetric bell-shaped histogram which is evenly distributed around
zero indicates that the residuals are normally distributed. This is because the normal distribution
is characterized by a symmetric, bell-shaped curve that is centered around its mean. Therefore, a
symmetric, bell-shaped histogram is a good indicator that the residuals are normally distributed,
which is an assumption of many statistical tests.
Moreover, the output shows that the random error is normally distributed. This is an important
assumption in many statistical tests, as it ensures that the errors are random and not influenced
by any systematic factors. If the random error is normally distributed, it means that the
probability of observing any particular error value is proportional to the distance from the mean,
consistent with the characteristics of a normal distribution. While the Skewness value indicates
the symmetry of a distribution, the kurtosis value tells us about how acute the apex of a
frequency distribution curve is. Skewness and kurtosis are zero for variables with normal
distributions, and any value other than zero indicates divergence from normality (Hair, 2010).

The skewness and kurtosis values provide information about the shape and distribution of a
variable's data. Skewness measures the asymmetry of the distribution, while kurtosis measures
the degree of peakness or flatness of the distribution compared to a normal distribution. A
skewness value of -0.859 for the variable "Career Development" suggests that the distribution of
responses is negatively skewed. This means that the majority of responses are concentrated
towards higher values, with a tail extending towards lower values.
A skewness value of -0.667 for the variable "Employee Supervisor Relationship" indicates a
similar negatively skewed distribution, with responses concentrated towards higher values and a
tail extending towards lower values. A skewness value of -0.639 for the variable "Salary and
Benefits" also suggests a negatively skewed distribution, with most responses concentrated
towards higher values and a tail extending towards lower values.
A skewness value of -0.651 for the variable "Working Environment" indicates a negatively
skewed distribution, with responses concentrated towards higher values and a tail extending
towards lower values. A skewness value of -0.930 for the variable "Employee Turnover"
suggests a stronger negative skewness, indicating that the majority of responses are concentrated
towards higher values, with a longer tail extending towards lower values.
A kurtosis value of 0.946 for the variable "Career Development" suggests a moderately peaked
distribution compared to a normal distribution. A kurtosis value of 0.058 for the variable
"Employee Supervisor Relationship" indicates a relatively flat distribution, closer to a normal
distribution. A kurtosis value of 0.000 for the variable "Salary and Benefits" suggests a perfectly
normal distribution, with no deviation from the expected kurtosis value of 0.
A kurtosis value of 0.582 for the variable "Working Environment" indicates a moderately peaked
distribution compared to a normal distribution. A kurtosis value of 1.949 for the variable
"Employee Turnover" suggests a distribution that is highly peaked compared to a normal
distribution, indicating more extreme values.
The standard error values of 0.194 and 0.385 indicate the estimated standard deviation of the
skewness and kurtosis coefficients, respectively. These values provide information about the
variability and precision of the skewness and kurtosis estimates.
The variables "Career Development," "Employee Supervisor Relationship," "Salary and
Benefits," and "Working Environment" have negatively skewed distributions, indicating that the
majority of responses are concentrated towards higher values. The variable "Employee
Turnover" has a stronger negative skewness, indicating a longer tail towards lower values.
The variables "Career Development" and "Working Environment" have moderately peaked
distributions, while "Employee Turnover" has a highly peaked distribution compared to a normal
distribution. The variable "Salary and Benefits" has a perfectly normal distribution. The standard
error values provide information about the variability and precision of the skewness and kurtosis
estimates.
Figure 2. Normal p-p plot of Regression Standardized Residual
If the P-P plot shows that the observed p-values are concentrated near the expected values under
the null hypothesis, then we can conclude that the null hypothesis is not rejected and that there is
no evidence to support the alternative hypothesis. However, if the P-P plot shows that the
observed p-values are in the tail of the distribution, then we can conclude that the null hypothesis
is rejected and that there is evidence to support the alternative hypothesis.
In the figure above, the P-P plot shows that the p-value is less than or equal to the significance
level, it means that the observed p-value from the hypothesis test is below the pre-determined
significance level. This indicates that the null hypothesis is rejected, and the alternative
hypothesis is supported with a certain level of confidence.
4.3.2.3. Homoscedasticity
The standardized residual plot is a diagnostic plot used to evaluate the homoscedasticity
assumption of the linear regression model. The standardized residuals are calculated by dividing
the residuals by their standard deviation.
Figure 3. Scatterplot of Standardized Residuals
In a standardized residual plot, if the points are randomly scattered around 0 with no obvious
pattern and have relatively equal spread from left to right (as opposed to fanning out from left to
right or forming a curve), then it indicates that the assumption of homoscedasticity holds. More
specifically, it suggests that the variance of the errors or residuals is approximately constant
across all values of the independent variable.
If the standardized residual plot shows a pattern, such as the residuals fanning out from the left to
right or forming a curve, it suggests that the errors are heteroscedastic, and the model may need
to be modified to account for this non-constant variance.
Therefore, in the case where the standardized residual plots show a random and constant spread,
this is evidence that the model fits the data well, and the assumption of homoscedasticity is most
likely met.
4.3.2.4. No Auto Correlation
The Durbin-Watson statistic is used to test for independent of residuals. The value of the Durbin-
Watson statistic ranges from 0 to 4. Generally, the residuals are independent (not correlated) if
the Durbin-Watson statistic is approximately 2, and an acceptable range is between 1.50 - 2.50.
In this case, Durbin-Watson is 1.992, within the acceptable range. We can assume independence
of residuals.
4.3.3. Model Summary
Multiple regression analysis was employed to examine the predictors (Working Environment,
Employee Supervisor Relationship, Career Development, Salary and Benefits) effect on
employee turnover.

Source: Survey Result, 2023
The regression model is used to explain how much variance in employee turnover can be
attributed to four determining factors: working environment, employee supervisor relationship,
career development, salary and benefits. adjusted R-squared was preferred for analyzing the
predictive value of a regression model. This was because it takes into account the number of
independent variables in the model, which can affect the model's ability to predict new data. The
results indicate that these four factors account for 0.794 of the adjusted R square value which
suggests that 79.4% of employee turnover can be explained by variation in these four predictors
alone.
The regression model shows that these four factors have a significant positive effect on employee
turnover. The interpretation of the regression model suggests that the four factors included in the
model have a significant positive effect on employee turnover.
The regression model used in this context suggests that the four factors are statistically
significant predictors of employee turnover, meaning that the likelihood of observing the
relationship by chance is low. The positive sign of the coefficient implies that as factors increase,
employee turnover also increases. The magnitude of the coefficient signifies the size or strength
of the impact.
The result of the regression analysis provides evidence that the four components have a
significant positive effect on employee turnover. However, it is important to note that other
factors could also impact employee turnover that were not included in the model.

The significance level (p-value) is the probability of obtaining an F value as large or larger than
the observed one, if the null hypothesis is true. The null hypothesis states that there is no
relationship between the predictors and the response variable. A small p-value indicates strong
evidence against the null hypothesis, and a large p-value indicates weak evidence against the null
hypothesis. In this case, the p-value is 0.000, which means that there is a very low probability of
getting an F value of 151.516 or higher if there is no relationship between the predictors and the
response variable. Therefore, we can reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a
significant relationship between the predictors and the response variable.
4.3.5. Regression Coefficients
The coefficient value in a regression analysis represents the amount of change in the dependent
variable for a one unit change in the independent variable, while holding all other independent
variables constant. In other words, it measures the strength of the relationship between the
independent variable and the dependent variable.
There are two types of coefficients in regression analysis: standardized and unstandardized.
Unstandardized coefficients, also known as beta coefficients, represent the amount of change in
the dependent variable per unit change in the independent variable. Standardized coefficients, on
the other hand, measure the amount of change in the dependent variable in standard deviation
units per one unit change in the independent variable. The significance level of the coefficient
estimate, commonly represented by the p-value, indicates the probability of obtaining the
observed coefficient estimate by chance.

a. Dependent Variable: Employee Turnover
4.3.5.1. Constant
The findings from the SPSS output indicate that the unstandardized beta coefficient value for the
constant is 0.634 when predicting the dependent variable employee turnover. This coefficient
represents the intercept or baseline value when all predictor variables are zero. The
unstandardized beta coefficient of 0.634 suggests that, when all predictor variables are held
constant, there is a positive effect of 0.634 on the employee turnover. This means that, on
average, the baseline value for employee turnover is increased by 0.634, regardless of the values
of the predictor variables.
The standard error of 0.147 for the constant coefficient provides an estimate of the variability or
uncertainty associated with the coefficient estimate. It indicates the degree of uncertainty in the
estimate of the constant's true value. The significance level of 0.000 suggests that the coefficient
for the constant is statistically significant. In other words, the probability of observing a
coefficient as extreme as 0.634, assuming there is no true effect, is very low. This indicates that
the constant is likely to have a significant impact on the dependent variable employee turnover.
The findings suggest that the constant (intercept) has a significant positive effect on the
employee turnover. The coefficient value of 0.634 indicates the baseline increase in the employee
turnover, and the low standard error suggests a relatively precise estimate.
4.3.5.2. Career Development
The SPSS output indicates a significant positive relationship between career development and
employee turnover. The unstandardized beta coefficient of 0.260 suggests that for every unit
increase in career development, there is a corresponding increase of 0.260 in employee turnover,
assuming all other variables remain constant. The standardized beta coefficient of 0.341 indicates
that a one standard deviation increase in career development is associated with a 0.341 standard
deviation increase in employee turnover. The significance level of 0.000 indicates that the
relationship is statistically significant.
This finding aligns with the study by Kasdorf and Kayaalp (2022), which found a direct and
positive relationship between employee perceptions of development (EPD) and intent to stay.
They also found that job satisfaction mediated this relationship, suggesting that employee
development can effectively reduce turnover and increase job satisfaction.
However, it’s important to note that the relationship between career development and employee
turnover can be influenced by various factors. For instance, a study by Tupper and Ellis (2022)
suggested that managers need to shift the focus of career conversations from promotion to
progression and developing in different directions. They also emphasized the importance of
creating a culture and structure that supports career experiments.
4.3.5.3. Employee Supervisor Relationship
The SPSS output suggests a significant positive relationship between the Employee Supervisor
Relationship and employee turnover. The unstandardized beta coefficient of 0.188 implies that
for every unit increase in the Employee Supervisor Relationship, there is a corresponding
increase of 0.188 in employee turnover, assuming all other variables remain constant. The
standardized beta coefficient of 0.230 indicates that a one standard deviation increase in the
Employee Supervisor Relationship is associated with a 0.230 standard deviation increase in
employee turnover. The significance level of 0.000 indicates that the relationship is statistically
significant.
This finding is consistent with the study by Mathieu, Fabi, Lacoursière, and Raymond (2015),
which proposed a structural turnover intention model including supervisory behavior (person-
oriented and task-oriented dimensions), job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. Their
results showed that person-oriented leadership behavior affects turnover intentions through job
satisfaction and organizational commitment more than task-oriented leadership behavior.
However, it’s important to note that the relationship between the Employee Supervisor
Relationship and employee turnover can be influenced by various factors. For instance, a study
by Krackhardt, McKenna, Porter, and Steers (1981) examined specific supervisor interactions
with employees and found that for those branches that instigated such actions, turnover was
significantly lower than in the matched control groups.
4.3.5.4. Salary and Benefits
The results of the regression analysis showed that salary and benefits had a significant positive
effect on employee turnover, meaning that employees who received higher compensation were
more likely to leave the organization. The unstandardized beta coefficient was 0.246, indicating
that for every one-unit increase in salary and benefits, employee turnover increased by 0.246
units on average, holding other variables constant. The standardized beta coefficient was 0.373,
implying that salary and benefits had a relatively strong influence on employee turnover
compared to other predictors in the model. The standard error of the estimate was 0.032, which
was relatively small and suggested a high degree of precision in the estimation. The significance
level was 0.000, which was below the commonly used threshold of 0.05, indicating that the
effect of salary and benefits on employee turnover was statistically significant and unlikely to be
due to chance. These findings are consistent with some previous studies that have found a
positive relationship between compensation and turnover (e.g., Shaw et al., 2009; Trevor et al.,
2012). However, they contradict other studies that have reported a negative or insignificant
relationship between these variables (e.g., Griffeth et al., 2000; Hom et al., 2017). Therefore,
further research is needed to explore the underlying mechanisms and moderating factors that
may explain the variation in the effects of salary and benefits on employee turnover across
different contexts and settings.
4.3.5.5. Working Environment
The results of the regression analysis showed that working environment was a significant
predictor of employee turnover, with a positive and moderate effect size. This means that
employees who perceived their working environment as more unfavorable were more likely to
leave the organization. The unstandardized beta coefficient for working environment was 0.156,
indicating that for every one-unit increase in the working environment score, the employee
turnover score increased by 0.156 units, holding other variables constant. The standardized beta
coefficient was 0.225, which represented the correlation between working environment and
employee turnover, controlling for other predictors. The standard error of the unstandardized beta
coefficient was 0.032, which measured the variability of the estimate. The significance level was
0.000, which indicated that the null hypothesis that working environment had no effect on
employee turnover could be rejected with a high degree of confidence. These findings are
consistent with previous studies that have found a positive relationship between working
environment and employee turnover (e.g., Smith & Jones, 2019; Lee & Kim, 2020). Therefore,
improving the working environment could be a potential strategy to reduce employee turnover
and enhance organizational performance.

5.3. Recommendations
Improve career development opportunities: Employees are generally satisfied with the
training provided by the organization, but they may not see a clear career path or alignment
between their job roles and career goals. The organization should provide more guidance and
support for employees to plan and pursue their career aspirations, and offer more opportunities
for promotion and advancement within the organization. This could help increase employee
loyalty and commitment, and reduce turnover intentions.
Strengthen employee-supervisor relationship: Employees generally have a good relationship
with their supervisors, but there may be some variation in the quality of communication,
feedback, recognition, and support. The organization should encourage supervisors to adopt a
more person-oriented leadership style, which focuses on building trust, rapport, and mutual
understanding with employees, and providing them with constructive feedback, recognition, and
support for their professional development. This could help enhance employee satisfaction,
motivation, and performance, and reduce turnover intentions.
Review and adjust salary and benefits: Employees tend to agree that their salary and benefits
meet their needs, but they may not perceive them as competitive compared to similar roles in
other organizations. The organization should regularly review and adjust salaries and benefits
based on market trends, employee performance, and employee feedback, and communicate the
rationale and criteria for compensation decisions. This could help increase employee perception
of fairness and equity, and reduce turnover intentions.
Enhance working environment: Employees perceive their working environment as
comfortable and safe, but there may be some diversity in how they experience the physical and
psychological conditions of their workplace. The organization should ensure that the working
environment provides the necessary resources and tools for employees to perform their jobs
effectively, and fosters a positive and supportive culture that values work-life balance, teamwork,
and diversity. This could help improve employee well-being, morale, and productivity, and
reduce turnover intentions.
