Factors Affecting High Employee Turnover in Indian Manufacturing Sector

Abstract

This chapter is an attempt to explore the factors affecting high employee turnover (ET) in the Indian manufacturing sector. The study shows the association between meaningful work (MWF), organizational information and communication (OIC), and organizational trust (OT). The authors have chosen convenience sampling method and 211 respondents' data was collected from the five Indian manufacturing organizations located in Uttarakhand state. Reliability and validity (convergent and divergent) were also checked and found high. They used conditional process modeling to check the mediation effect of OIC. Findings suggest that MWF positively impacts OT and OIC positively impacts OT. Partial mediation effect of OIC was also captured on the relationship of MWF and OT. The managerial implications, limitations, and future scope were also discussed in detail. These implications provide the good insights to all the employers who are constantly seeking the solution to resolve the issues of attrition and high ET in their respective organizations.
