JOB SATISFACTION AND TURNOVER INTENTION OF EMPLOYEE IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS IN ANAMBRA STATE
Abstract
The study was carried out to investigate job satisfaction and turnover intention of employees in tertiary institutions in Anambra State. Two research questions guided the study and two null hypotheses were tested. A correlation research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study consisted of 31,890 of employees drawn from five tertiary institutions and a purposive sample technique was used in selecting 12,430 employees. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection. The instrument was validated by three experts in the field. The reliability of the instrument was ensured using pilot test technique. Cronbach Alpha method was used to establish the reliability of the instrument. The reliability yielded coefficient values of .96. Data related to the research questions and hypotheses were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis to test the degree of relationship at .05 level of significance. Findings revealed that there is a negligible negative relationship between pay satisfaction and a significant high positive relationship exists between male and female on turnover intention of employees in tertiary institutions in Anambra State. However, it was concluded that the pay satisfaction would enhance turnover of employees in tertiary institutions. It was also recommended that employers should pay adequate attention to the monetary rewards of their employees among others.
