Abstract

This research study was designed to determine the causes and possible solutions to the problem of high employee turnover rates within a particular manufacturing organization located in central Georgia. The in-depth research was completed in an ongoing effort to retain valuable employees in manufacturing organizations before these employees have reached the decision to depart the organization. The research outcome or the turnover analysis process may be useful to other companies and may add to the present academic research addressing employee turnover. The researcher incorporated qualitative research methods for cause determination. The objectives of the research were to identify work-related and external economic opportunity factors that caused turnover within the company, identify possible employee turnover solutions derived from analyzed data, and recommend solutions for the reduction in turnover rates.

This turnover evaluation process provided an instrument for management to use in analyzing the turnover phenomenological approach in the organization. Data-collection methods included a combination of observations, open-ended interviews, surveys, and documents that provided preliminary background information.
