Abstract
Employee turnover can affect the productivity of an organisation and is often a symptom of other difficulties. Losing key human capital in work organisation operations upsets routines, makes employee/employer uncomfortable, and affects the productivity and performance of the organisation. Though there is no standard account for why people choose to leave; they tend to leave the organisation voluntarily. The study therefore concentrated only on voluntary leaving. The main objective of the study was to find out factors that lead to employee turnover and their impact on directorate of studies’ performance in the non-university colleges where institute of accountancy Arusha was used as the case study. In the study, various factors leading to employee turnover were found, analysed and interpreted qualitatively and quantitatively. The individual and organisation turnover effects on performance were also stated. Findings indicated that there are possibilities for employee to stay longer in the work organisation if employee and employer cooperate and build strong teamwork that is committed and devoted to meet the organizational goals. In additional, the research indicated that, management has not realised the full implications of employee turnover. In order to comprehend this, the study suggests to management to be aware of the factors that lead to employee turnover in the directorate of studies and finds mechanism on how to retain the employee or keep turnover to a minimum. On the other hand academic staff are arqued not to despair due to shortcoming of the management of the institute, rather to be proactive in reminding the management to provide their rights in due time.
