    Factors Affecting Employee Turnover Intention and the Moderating Role of Gender: Evidence from the Laborer Category Employees Working in Katunayake Free Trade Zone of Sri Lanka
    (Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya., 2022) Piyasiri, S.; Weerasinghe, T. D.
    Although the factors affecting employee turnover intention have been adequately studied in the extant literature in various contexts, minimum attention has been given to studying the actual effect of such factors on the role of gender, especially in the Free Trade Zones in Sri Lanka. Hence, the current study attempts to examine the effect of identified factors from literature, on employee turnover intention with the moderating role of gender on each antecedent. Predominantly adopting the deductive approach, quantitative strategy and cross-sectional time horizon, the study was conducted among a sample of 194 employees of the labourer category working in Katunayake Free Trade Zone via a survey questionnaire developed based on standard measurement scales. A simple random sampling technique was used to select the sample while the sample size was determined based on the Morgan table. Data analysis was done employing multiple regression analysis and the moderator analysis with Hayes process v3.5 macro in SPSS 26.0. Findings revealed that job satisfaction and organizational commitment have a negative relationship whereas job performance and job burnout adhere to a strong positive relationship with the employee turnover intention regardless of gender. Further, it is found that gender has no moderating effect on the hypothesized association. Accordingly, it is recommended for human resource professionals to focus more on each controllable factor affecting employee turnover intention which is more likely to convert into actual employee turnover adding costs to organizations in training and development, poor job performance, poor productivity, and emergency recruitments.

    Impact of Career Planning on Employee Turnover Intention in Short-Term: Evidence from a Leading Garment Factory in Sri Lanka
    (9th International Conference on Business and Information (ICBI-2018), Department of Management Studies and Toc H Institute of Science and Technology, India, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Tennakoon, W.D.N. S.M.; Lasanthika, W.J.A.J.M.
    Employee turnover intention in short term (ETIST) is still a burning issue for many labor intensive industries despite the interest of scholars on it for many past decades. The impact of Career Planning (CP) on ETIST is loosely addressed. Thus, this study investigates the impact of CP on the ETIST. A deductive, cross sectional research inquiry was carried out where CP is operationalized using personal, occupational, organizational and external factors. ETIST denotes the turnover intention of short tenured employees. Survey instrument (Holland, 1997) of 30 items ranked the responses on a five-point Likert scale. Sample represents the randomly selected machine operators (n = 232) of garment factory where short-term LTO reported as significant. Regression and correlation analyses derive the results. It is concluded that career planning is significantly influencing employee turnover in short term. Implications of the study carries the importance of employing CP strategies to minimize the possible ETIST.
