Most people quit a job because they can no longer tolerate their boss(s) or they have lost faith in senior management. This is can be especially true in a fledgling company where the actions of a manager or leader are magnified.

Leaders are not about controlling and dictating, its about guiding and creating other leaders; bringing out an individual's maximum potential.

Conversely, people will stay at a company or in a job during thick and thin if they respect and believe in their boss(s).

Loyalty to an organization is no longer the catch word. People keep changing jobs for better pay structure, amenities, perks or other personal preferences. Earlier people have few options and job market was restricted with limited jobs. Globalization and establishment of transnational companies, new technologies have created innumerable new job opportunities and even incentives for startup enterprises.

I agree with Dr Kundu and Dr Rao.

I also think employees leave an organization due to terms of service,mobility,family,environmental factors and remuneration.

Thanks for a good contribution, Dear Prof B.R. Rajeswara Rao.

Are bosses cause some reasons for leaving?

Thanks! Dear Oluwafemi,

You mentioned personal reasons, please mention reasons related to boss also.

May be in specific cases. It also depends on the employee. In profit motive private institutions bosses expect employees to chase targets and all employees to be achievers. Discrimination, nepotism, class preferences exist in many institutions to the detriment of employees. This is almost everywhere. Wherever a person goes as an employee he/she is subjected to these prejudices and tests. Added to these for women employees sexual exploitation is an additional problem. It is better to face problems head on and deal with them effectively rather than changing jobs with no guarantee that a person is sure to get a good boss. Changing jobs for better pay or other personal reasons is a choice of the person concerned.

Based on my observation, there are 2 main groups of reasons by employees leave organizations i.e. push and pull factors.  Push factors pertaining to factors due to the existing organization that the employee is in e.g. not happy with management, non-conducive working environment, job dissatisfaction, termination, voluntary separation scheme / job laid off etc.  Pull factors pertaining to factors outside the organization e.g. the employee has better job offer from other organizations, want to increase or widen his or her job experience / exposure, retirement, startup his or her own company etc.  Sometimes both push & pull factors can happen at the same time to accelerate the employee to leave the organization.

Dear Rao, Han Ping, Eraldo,

Thanks for good contributions.

Some People believe in intrinsic satisfaction; some believe in extrinsic satisfaction.

Such satisfaction affects different employees differently.

I find it difficult to find intrinsic satisfaction in the consumerism bitten, merry go around youth. Some young people claim that they party hard every day as if tomorrow never comes. Extrinsic satisfaction appears to be the in thing.

Thanks for the material Dr Banovac

@Dr Kundu,some employees change job due to the attitude and ill treatment they receive from their boss.

If employees enjoy better working environment and good relations with bosses may not leave job even for new opportunity.

In government institutions bosses keep changing and with bosses the working environment. But people stick around at least in India.

Very correct, Dear Rao.

According to CEB’s Quarterly Global Labor Market research, the top five reasons are

• Stability
• Compensation
• Respect
• Health Benefits
• Work-Life Balance

Employees quit when

• they feel underpaid
• they  eel undervalued
• they  no longer enjoy the work
• they get an unexpected offer elsewhere

Employees leave jobs if they are confident that alternate jobs are available in the market and they are qualified or if they decide to start their ventures.

Dear Professor Kundu,

"Leaders are not about controlling and dictating, its about guiding and creating other leaders; bringing out an individual's maximum potential."   This is so true.  

As an employee, I'll remain loyal to an organization that doesn't put a straitjacket on my ideas and opinions. I can accept rules and policies if the organizational goals and visions are clearly explained to me. I also appreciate fair incentives and fair treatments in conflict resolutions. And if I am put on the job that I'm capable of doing well, then I'll have peace of mind, which leads me to become more productive.

I don't know about others, but there may be some people who share this employee's perspective of mine. If the organization as the big boss grants this kind of leadership, people like us are likely to hang on ups and downs.  But if the situation is otherwise, we're not going to wait until we hear, "You're fired." 

Best regards,

Cameen

Good, Dear Behrouz Ahmadi-Nedushan,

Opportunities for Professional Development  are first most important issue for retaining employees.

In highly populous developing countries the advantage of employment seekers to employers is skewed in favor of employers. The bigger question actually in such countries is: do those countries have enough employment opportunities for the teeming young millions?

Employees turnover is also affected by nature of the industries.

Managers tend to blame their turnover problems on everything under the sun, while ignoring the crux of the matter: people don’t leave jobs; they leave managers.

First, we need to understand the nine worst things that managers do that send good people packing (See Link).

Information Technology and Electronics industries are more affected by turnover of employees. Turnover of employees increases the cost.

Every company normally faces one common problem of high employee turnout ratio. People are leaving the company for better pay, better profile or simply for just one reason 'pak gaya'.

This article might just throw some light on the matter...... See link.

It has internal reasons( employee's psychological and cultural and believes and attitudes) and external reasons( social, political  and economic condition)

You are very correct! Dear Nader.

All employees who come for the job have the major action for his life his for Bread & Butter & as the involvement in the organisation is for offering his services,his experience in best interest of his knowledge & sincerity .

Employees would not prefer to change his job as his interested in his career & will not prefer to change as he is also to cater the needs of his family .

After considering the point of his life ,if the employee may close his eye by keeping his organisation in his mind by closing his eye for the human aspects of his employees & for the welfare for the career of the employee,such employee will prefer to leave the organisation .

This is my personal opinion

@ Sikandar KHAN, Pakistan:

"Employees quit their job for many reasons. ... But, the majority of reasons why employees quit their job are under the control of the employer. In fact, any element of your current workplace, your culture, and environment, the employee's perception of his job and opportunities are all factors that the employer affects."

Employees tolerance level is limited and if the managers don not care to their requests, they will leave organizations every time that they can.

People always keep a balance in their head of things they like about a job, i.e. that are rewarding, versus things they do not like about the job, or which are not rewarding. The the balance is too often toward the negative, they become ready to find a new job. But as others have noted, it is usually the influence of the boss that makes a job feel rewarding or not.

In general, the majority of employees working in various organizations may think about moving to other organizations when they are not satisfied with their jobs. In point of fact, The most essential thing in doing a job is not whether it is a small or big Job; but rather, whether the employee is satisfied with it. As Charbel Tadros states, "A highly paid, highly motivated employee who is not allowed to work with his full potential is like a Ferrari which is not allowed out of the garage.” Therefore, lack of motivation and job contentment are two basic factors that make employees want to leave their organizations.
