Factors Of Staff Turnover In Textile Factories Of Ensenada City, B.C. Los Factores De La Rotacion De Personal En Las Maquiladoras De Exportacion De Ensenada, B.C

Textile factories on the Northern border between the United States and Mexico, specifically in Baja California, have been examined from different perspectives. Examinations exist from the point of view of employment generation, exports, competitiveness, technological aspect, sociodemographic and women's participation. This paper discusses the phenomenon of staff turnover in textile factories. We highlight factors that influence or determine staff turnover in textile factories of the city of Ensenada. We evaluate the strategies of the companies to retain their best performers. We hypothesize factors that determine staff turnover of the maquiladoras of Ensenada, BC. The approach is multivariate. It appears that companies are not adopting the best strategies to encourage the permanence of workers. As a result voluntary rotation of personnel continues generating costs and consequences for the organization. The methodological part in this research is theoretical and empirical. In theory, it is developed as a conceptual framework regarding the rotation of personnel in the maquiladoras as an unquestionable fact; as well as its costs and its consequences for businesses and individuals. In the empirical, predominantly quantitative, will be based on the application of a questionnaire to the operative workers of some maquiladoras of Ensenada BC, being a representative sample that will allow to analyze and to conclude what are the factors that influence or determine the (voluntary) staff turnover
