This study attempts to predict the exit
intentions of women employee services
in the Banking sector in the Garhwal
region of Uttarakhand. This is done on
the basis of their working preferences.
Research Gap :

Gender-specific studies are almost absent with refence to studying

the working preference of human resources. Women issues are not
addressed adequately, which results in the lesser policy formation
for the female workforce. The recently identified concern about
exit intentions and working preference include the need for a micro
level empirical study. Thus, various issues related to working
women in the Indian context represent this research gap.
Objectives :

1.To identify the working preferences of women

employees and
2.To access the exit intentions of women employees on
the basis of their working preferences.
 Research Methodology
This study used a sample of 600 women employees. Cluster area
randomized sampling on the proportionate basis was applied to chose the
respondents from Dehradun, Haridwar and Puri Garhwal districts of
Uttarakhand state. Exit intentions were predicted through working
preferences concerning job location (that is based upon the geographical
status, such as plains, hills and ‘anywhere’) and sector of employment(that
was classified into Banking, Education ,Healthcare and others).As the data
was nominal in nature mainly the chi-square test and some other statistical
and geographical techniques were employed to analyze the data and to
drive the results.{Qualitative Research}
Variables :

Working preferences were taken as the test

variables and three Districts were the grouping
variables.
 Hypothesis :

 Ho1 : There is no significant difference among the women employees working

preference on the basis of job location. {rejected}

 Ho2: There is no significant difference among the women employees working

preference on the basis of employment sector. {rejected}
 conclusion -

The application of the x²(chi-square) test on the working preferences

of the women employees reveal the significant difference on both the
categories. The study also reveals that women employees highly
prefer the plains areas as job location, whereas the education sector
has been reported as the most favorite employment sector. So it may
be concluded that women employees working in the bank branches
of three selected districts of the Garhwal region have strong exit
intentions.
Limitations :

The study was based upon the sample collected from three
districts of Uttarakhand so that the results cannot be
generalized and may not represent the perspectives of
women employees of commercial banks of the country.
