satisfaction and organizational performance that is complex. It also reviews and states employees

is to identify critical relationship between job satisfaction of employees and organisational
overall performance. (4) This research also concentrates on analysing all those factors that
provide job satisfaction to employees like an effective pay & security, challenges, autonomy, co-
operative workers etc. Even Napoleon also said that workers who feel happy at workplace they
give extra or private time to their working activities for organizational growth. Companies with
having skilled and these type of workers always get success. Companies need to provide them all
satisfactory factors for accomplishing goals. (5) This article is more useful and appropriate to
identify factors that provide job satisfaction along with those factors who increases labour
turnover, to all employees. Some factors that give job satisfaction includes good pay, effective
management styles, healthy working environment, promotional opportunities etc. (6) The main
limitation of this research is all participated 40 companies decided to participate in empirical

turnover rates and its causes. It also wants to identify impact of increasing labour turnover cost
on hotel's sustainability. (4) This research has more focused on problems which are being faced
by hotel and tourism industries due to high labour turnover. They have to face loss of investment
in human capital, training and quality. (5) In the context of usefulness it can be said that By
examining its accountability structure and impact of staff retention on service quality and
productivity, it can identify all those factors that create this problem. (6 ) The main limitation of
this research is that this findings can not be applied on other sectors because the main focus on
only tourism and hotel industry. Low paying job, low job satisfaction are some factors of thuis
problem. (7) Thus, it is concluded that labour turnover impacted brand image and performance
level of organization to the great extent. (8) From this research, industries can know the

and organizations. It also shows importance of internal organisational factors that provide job
satisfaction to employees. (3) Heliyon 5 made use of qualitative data and person organization fit
theory from a survey of non managerial 18 retail workers. (4) This research, further focuses on
identifying 5 themes that can influence employees retention as well as job satisfaction such as
stability, flexibility, friendly working environment etc. (5) The usefulness of this research is that
anyone and companies can understand difference between voluntary and involuntary turnover
and their impact on company's productivity and effectiveness. (6) This research is completed
from uses of only one organization for knowing perception of employees regarding job
dissatisfaction is a limitation. Some employees do not give accurate answers, so it is a limitation.
(7) It can be said that there is a requirement of additional research for focusing on different
social contexts. (8) I learned that employee organization value congruence that impact on staff
turnover and their satisfaction. A supportive management style and other internal factors lead to
positive employees engagement but the value congruence can be derived only from employees
perception.
