The study aimed at finding the factors that influenced the worker to leave job voluntarily
in private organization particularly textile industries in Tanzania using NIDA textile
industry as a case study. Specifically the study aimed to investigate the causes of
voluntary labour turn over in NIDA textile industry. The case study research design was
used in the research. Data collection was done using interview, questionnaire, focus
group discussion and documentary analysis. Finally data were analyzed basing on
objectives of the study. The collected data were analyzed both qualitatively and
quantitatively. Descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation were used to
summarize the information obtained from the respondents.
During this research, it was observed that the rate of voluntary turnover recently is
fluctuating on nonprofessional employers. The study revealed that the poor participation
of workers in decision making, low level of education, great expectation, job security,
and low salaries seems to have great impact of the employee’s resignation in textile
industry. Again poor or lack of facilities or equipments, bad management style, non
conducive working environment, conflicts with top management, unable to meet the
workers demand by the organization are among the causes of voluntary labour turnover.
A study provides suggestion to the company that, it establishes very effective human
resources strategies. Employment should base on qualified workers at least those coming
from the Vocational Training Center like VETA. Additionally motivational schemes
should be there, increase of salary remuneration, improvement of working condition,
involving workers to participate in management on matters that pertaining them and
good reward system plus retention strategies should also be applied. Good management
style, improving working environment, provision of training and development to
workers in the industry are among the suggestions.
Furthermore Policy makers are advised to review and improve the labour relation law by
insisting mandatory support for vocational training for workers in all industries in
Tanzania particularly those which have technical duties on their machines. In the case of
Health Policy, using Occupational Health and Safety Authority the Government (particularly policy makers) should amend health policy on the area of compensation
mechanisms which stipulated rules and regulations should be bounded. All workers are
supposed to understand the compensation mechanisms and the way of demanding them.
Government should set standard in which compensation would be seen as obligatory. |
