Labour Turnover

Labour turnover and absenteeism rates are relatively easily measurable forms of behaviour. This article investigates the validity of these rates as indicators of organizational effectiveness. It is argued that management style and motivational strategies are related to absenteeism and labour turnover. Absenteeism and labour turnover are viewed as examples of deviant industrial behaviour and consequently as reflections of employee dissatisfaction with management. The implications of the incidence of and variations in these two phenomena are discussed together with their relevance to successful management, and their practical applicability as tools to aid the employer.Arbeidsomset- en werksafwesigheidsyfers is redelik maklik meetbare verskynsels en word jaarliks in meeste bedryfsorganisasies bepaal. Hierdie artikel ondersoek die geldigheid van hierdie syfers as indikatore van organisasie-effektiwiteit. Die argument is dat bestuurstyl en motiveringstrategie aan die een kant, verband hou met werksafwesigheid en arbeidsomset aan die ander kant. Werksafwesigheid en arbeidsomset word beskryf as voorbeelde van afwykende industriele gedrag en daarom as wyses waarop werknemers hul ontevredenheid ten opsigte van die werkgewers uitdruk. Die implikasies van die voorkoms en variasies van hierdie twee verskynsels word bespreek, asook hulle praktiese toepasbaarheid as hulpmiddels vir die werkgewer, en hulle verband met suksesvolle bestuur.

Labour Turnover

The movement of professionals from one organisation to another in quest for satisfaction has been a matter of serious concern to health organisations especially Shisong hospital in Kumbo east health district, Bui Division of the Northwest Region of Cameroon. This hospital sought to reduce this labour turnover and increase employee satisfaction through promotion, which is one of its internal recruitment sources. The question has been whether the use of promotion will lead to employee satisfaction and commitment and reduce the urge to leave this organisation. An investigation has been done using a close ended questionnaire with 166 employees of this hospital to prove if significant relationships exist between promotion and employee satisfaction; employee satisfaction and employee commitment; and promotion and employee intention to quit the organisation. Correlation analysis concluded that there is a significantly strong relationship between promotion and employee satisfaction, a significantly very strong relationship between employee satisfaction and employee commitment and a negatively weak significant relationship between promotion and employee intention to quit this Hospital. Specially, it has been realised that even employees who have not experienced promotion in Shisong hospital are not willing to quit their job as a result of promotion. There will therefore be need to investigate the reason for this special result. Based on promotion alone, much is left to be desired from Shisong hospital.

AbstractThe Kuzbass coalmining region in western Siberia (Kuznetsk Basin) was explored, populated, and exploited under Stalin’s rule. Struggling to offset a high labour turnover, the local state-run coal company enrolled deportees from other regions of Russia and Siberia, who were controlled by the secret police (OGPU). These workers shared a common experience in having been forcibly separated from their place of origin. At the same time, foreigners were recruited from abroad as experts and offered a privileged position. In the years of the Great Terror (1936−1938) both groups were persecuted, as they were regarded by the state as disloyal and suspicious. After the war, foreigners were recruited in large numbers as prisoners of war. Thus, migrants, foreigners, and deportees from other regions and countries constituted a significant part of the workforce in the Kuzbass, while their status constantly shifted due to economic needs and repressive politics.
