    FACTORS AFFECTING EMPLOYEE TURNOVER INTENTIONS OF EXECUTIVE LEVEL EMPLOYEES AT ABC APPAREL PVT. LIMITED
    (Department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2025) Hewage, C. M.; Devadas, U. M.
    Employee turnover has become a greater challenge for companies in a highly competitive business environment. This study has been carried out to understand the factors that affect employee turnover intention of executive level employees of ABC Company with 160 respondents. In this study, work stress, burnout, compensation and benefits, and growth opportunities were considered as the underlying reasons for turnover intentions. This research is carried out according to a quantitative approach with a structured survey, used to collect data from executive level employees of ABC Company. Descriptive statistics, regression, and correlation analysis were used in conducting the data analysis for the current study. The findings indicate that there is a significant relationship between work stress, burnout, compensation & benefits, growth opportunities (independent variables), and employee turnover intention (dependent variable). According to data analysis, employees experience a high level of burnout and moderate level of work stress, while the employees are moderately satisfied with compensation, benefits, and growth opportunities. Further, it was identified that there is a significant impact of work stress, burnout, compensation & benefits, and growth opportunities on employee turnover intention. This study shows the importance of addressing issues related to work stress and burnout through targeted interventions, such as implementing stress management programs, offering career counseling services, and fostering a supportive work environment. It is important to enhance employee growth opportunities and consistently update salaries, wages, and benefits in par with the industry’s benchmark and employees’ needs as well. The research has different limitations as it focuses solely on ABC Company executive level employees. Also, the cross-sectional design does not capture longitudinal changes in turnover intentions or organizational dynamics over time. Hence, further research can be conducted to overcome these limitations and investigate more factors that contribute to employee turnover intention.

    FACTORS AFFECTING INTENTION TO MIGRATE OF EXECUTIVES IN THE APPAREL INDUSTRY IN SRI LANKA
    (Department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2025) De Silva, H.P.D.T.; Gamage, P. N.
    Earnings from exports and the provision of employment opportunities make the apparel industry in Sri Lanka one of the most important industries in terms of its contribution to the nation’s economy. Still, the percentage of executives willing to migrate has been on the rise due to economic, workload and even career-oriented factors. This study aims to investigate the underlying factors that lead to the willingness to migrate among executives in the apparel sector of Sri Lanka. A quantitative and cross-sectional sample survey was used, and a questionnaire was sent to 165 executives of the organizations. The results were analyzed employing SPSS to compute correlation and regression analysis. The analysis revealed that migration intentions had a significant relationship with job satisfaction, organizational culture, organizational support, career development, compensation, economic conditions and political instability. Research results show that attention needs to be paid to intervention measures that prevent migration, including developing a good organization of the political and economic problems and developing more career opportunities. This research can also serve as a useful contribution for policymakers and industry owners on how best to devise policies designed to deal with migration determinants to improve executive retention and ensure the competitiveness and expansion of the sector.
