| Abstract: | The primary objective of this research was to investigate the cause and consequences of employee
turnover: the case of Ethiopian Road Administration. Descriptive research designs were used in
this research. To choose the sample, a stratified random sampling approach was utilized. The
research is mixed (both quantitative and qualitative), and data from employees were gathered using
questionnaires with three parts that included both close- end and open-end questions. SPSS
Statistics version 27 was used to process the questionnaire- collected data. The researcher has found
out that in ERA’s employees tend to seek better job, salary and benefit in other firms and as a
response of most employees’ repetitive work is quite exhausting and boring which will increase the
level of job dissatisfaction and the level of turnover. For firms, employee turnover is an expensive
issue. It may result in lower production, more hiring and training expenses, and a drop in the morale
of the remaining workforce. Employee turnover is brought on by a variety of factors, including as
inadequate management, a dearth of prospects for promotion, and a poor work-life balance. As a
result, the researcher strongly suggests that the HR division pay close attention to turnover and
concentrate on employee’s retention tactics |
