Job Satisfaction and Employee Turnover Intention of staff in Life Flour Mill Ltd Sapele, Nigeria

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between job satisfaction and employee turnover intention using Life Flour Mill Nigeria LTD Sapele as a case study. Consequently, one hundred and fifty one (151) structured questionnaires were administered to the study participants of which, 143 were returned. 2 copies of the questionnaires were not filled properly and 141 copies were useable. Data collected from the study participants were analyzed by means of descriptive (mean) and inferential Statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient). The findings of the study unveiled that job satisfaction (job characteristics, supervisors support and work-life balance) have a significant positive correlation with employee turnover intention. On the basis of the findings, it was recommended that management should focus on job design and make sure that employees have meaningful and happy work experiences. Besides, Management should give staff members all the assistance they require to function at their best. This is due to the fact that workers are more likely to be satisfied with their positions, feel more like they belong, and be more committed to the company when they receive support from their managers and supervisors. Also, a better work-life balance for employees should also be guaranteed by management. This is due to the fact that when individuals have a better work-life balance, they typically have higher job satisfaction and lower levels of stress and burnout. They feel more satisfied and driven to stick with their current employer as a result, which lowers their desire to leave.
