Employee Job Satisfaction and Employees' Voluntary Turnover Intentions (VTIs)

Larkin-Perkins, Bridgette 01 January 2017 (has links)
Within the U.S. sales industry, organizational productivity has decreased due to employee job dissatisfaction and increased voluntary turnover intentions (VTIs). Some leaders in the industry lack knowledge about the relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction, and the negative effect on employees' VTIs. The purpose of this correlational study was to examine whether intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction significantly predicted retail sales employees' VTIs. The Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) and the Turnover Intentions Scale (TIS-6) were used to collect data from full- or part-time employees in the U.S. retail sales industry. The theoretical framework was based on Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory. The results of a multiple regression analysis indicated that a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction, F (2, 87) = 3.51, p = .034, R2 = .08), significantly predicted employees' VTIs. However, extrinsic job satisfaction (t = 2.05, p = .034) was the only statistically significant predictor. Business leaders, who understand the factors that increase extrinsic job satisfaction, may increase retention within the organization, provide workforce stability, improve organizational and economic growth, and decrease costs related to job satisfaction and VTIs. The implications for social change include helping to reduce the economy's unemployment rate and improve relationships between the employees, their families, and their communities include (a) improving employees' and stakeholders' perceptions of their organization in the community and (b) improving employees' well-being by understanding the job satisfaction factors that improve their morale.
