Title of the ResearchEMPLOYEES UNABLE TO WORK FOR LONGER PERIOD OF TIME IN ORGANIZATIONBrief IntroductionAs employees gain experience, more organizations become interested in them and they mostlikely get pouched away from the current organization they are working in. This is increasinglybecoming an issue in since the employee turnover in any specific year is increasing at a high rate.This comes with increase in employee recruitment cost and also increase in training costs due tothe costs incurred in training new employees. The other issue that arises with failure byorganizations to retain employees for a long time includes the decrease in productivity in theshort time due to the constant change of staff in the organization. The other factor maybe majorand frequent conflicts in the workplace. Failure by the management or human resource officersto resolve the issues leading to the conflicts results to employees deciding to leave employmentand seek for a job elsewhere. Another potential cause of employees not staying in anorganization for a long period of time may be ineffective leadership. This leads to lack ofmotivation among employees due to poor leadership from management (Ellett & Dews, 2008).This study tries to prove the hypothesis stated above. This report investigates the literaturereview written about the subject in the past and identifies the research methods and methodologyto be used in data collection and analysis.Problem StatementEmployees moving from one organization to another have a very huge impact on organizations. It affects the morale and confidence of the employees who remain in the company. The employees begin losing faith in the organization that they are currently working for and may

choose to seek other jobs as well. The constant loss of employees by a organization also results to decline in productivity in the organization. There are many reasons why employees decide to change jobs. One of the reasons is the failure by the company to meet their salary expectations which makes them insecure financially. The organization may also fail to meet the ambition of the employee and therefore the employee may end up finding another job somewhere else. The study seeks to establish the reasons that motivate employees to change organizations regularly and what organizations can do to lower the employee turnover.There are a variety of factors that may contribute to high employee turnover/failure to retain employees for a long time. One of the factors may be due to poor or lack of communication between the organization and its employees and among employees themselves (Sullivan, 2010, March 4). This mostly leads to uneasy working environment which may result to lack of satisfaction and they end up deciding to leave the organization. The organizations have a responsibility of ensuring that employees stay at their organizations for long periods of time. Themanagement of companies should put in place measures to ensure that the needs and expectations of all employees are catered for. The organizations should also pay their employees reasonable salaries and reward them for good performance . This study therefore seeks to investigate the factors that lead to employees changing organizations from time to time and the action that can be taken by the organizations to reduce the rate of employees leaving their currentjobs to seek for alternatives.Research AimThe main aim of this study is to investigate factors that cause employees to change organizationfrom time to time.Research Objectives and QuestionsThe other objective of this research is to identify the measures and actions that the organizations can take to reduce the rate of employees changing jobs.What is the motivation behind employees changing organizations within a short period oftime?

How does the personal ambition and goals of the employee influence their decision to changeorganizations constantly?How does the compensation and remuneration of employees by an organization impact onthe ability of the organization to retain employees for a long time?How do organizations fail to fulfill the desires and ambitions of employees?What changes do organizations need to make in order to ensure that employees remain in theorganization for long time?Justification for the projectFailure by an organization to retain employees for a long time results to various challengesfor the organization. In the past, many organizations have found themselves lose theiremployees to rivals or other industries due to various factors. Most of these employees leavethe organization just after they have familiarized themselves with their roles and with theenvironment of the organization. These employees cost the organizations a lot of resourcesfrom the point of recruitment and training ("Factors Influencing Employee Commitment inKenya", 2015). Even after the organizations have lost employees, it is also very difficult toget highly experienced and qualified employees to fill the positions. Losing an experiencedemployee also results to a drop in productivity within an organization. This drop inproductivity may be amplified to the point of profits of the organization and may at timesresult to losses for an organization. In addition to this, the loss of employee presents a hugechallenge for any organization since there is no one left to train and guide the new employeeswho join the company and hence it will take longer for new incoming employees to getintegrated into the company.

Due the challenges presented in the above paragraph and many more, it is important fororganizations to identify reasons why they lose employees at a fast rate. Organizations alsoneed to find a solution for the challenge.
