Abstract
Employee turnover can have a detrimental
impact on business and the labor market at large, it is therefore important to
understand the determinants of such a choice. This study investigated the
empirical link between different dimensions of organizational commitment and
turnover intentions among employees of Money Deposit Banks in Warri Metropolis.
A literature review of organizational commitment and employee turnover provides
the basis for the research hypotheses. Three research hypotheses were formulated
and tested at 95% confidence level. The study adopted a cross sectional survey
research design. In order to gather data and test the hypotheses, 153
respondents from selected Money Deposit Banks in Warri Metropolis completed a
self-administered questionnaire. Data collected were analyzed using both
descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The statistical analysis
was carried out via STATA 13.0 Microsoft Statistical software. Findings
obtained from multiple regression analysis revealed that affective commitment
had a negative and significant effect (β = -0.313; t = -4.55; p = 0.031
< 0.05) on turnover intention, while continuance commitment had a negative
and significant effect (β = -0.257; t = -3.01; p = 0.011 < 0.05) on
turnover intention. Furthermore, normative commitment had a negative and
significant effect (β = -0.362; t = -3.92; p = 0.023 < 0.05) on
turnover intention. It was concluded that affective commitment, continuance
commitment as well as normative commitment were negative and significantly
associated with employees’ turnover intentions. The study recommends that the
management of Money Deposit Banks in Warri Metropolis must spend more time in
dealing with the issues affecting employees’ loyalty to their organizations, as
highly committed employees should not be contemplating quitting their jobs as
revealed in this study.
