Leveraging on Job Analysis to Enhance Employee Retention: A Correlational Study
Abstract
Rapid changes in the work place have necessitated the need for a sound job analysis as a tool for employee retention. The belief is that proper development of job analysis enhances employee retention in an organization. This study examined the relationship between job analysis and employee retention in the banking sector in Delta State, Nigeria. Consequently, two hundred and ten (210) questionnaires were administered to the respondents of which two hundred and seven (207) were fully retrieved and completed. Data obtained from the respondents were analyzed by means of descriptive (mean) and inferential Statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient). The findings of the study revealed that job description, job specification and job evaluation as dimensions of job analysis have a significant positive relationship with employee retention. On the basis of the findings, it was recommended that organizations especially in the banking sector should have detailed information about job title, job role, duties and responsibility in order to prevent role ambiguity. Besides, organization should clearly state the required skills, abilities, knowledge, training, experience and qualification of a job in order to prevent the recruitment of unqualified personnel. This will prevent loss of employees and enhance employee retention. Also, fixation of remuneration of a job should be based on the job duties, responsibilities and function.
