Abstract

The objective of this study is to find out those factors that affect employee turnover and to also to find out the effect of those factors on employee turnover at AECOM, throughout our literature review we were able to find out four important factors pay, promotion, supervision and career growth that affects employee turnover the most. We used regression analysis, descriptive statistics, and quantitative approach through which we distributed a questionnaire among 73 employees of AECOM randomly which is our sample size to identify the effect of our independent variable on the dependent variable, using statistical analysis we find out that promotion and career growth both have a negative relationship with turnover and 2 other factors pay and supervision based on beta value are considered significant but has a positive relationship with employee turnover.
