Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of selected human resource management practices on employee turnover intention in Berhan International Bank S.C. Specifically, it looked at how “Person-organization fit”, “Remuneration, Reward and Recognition”, “Training and Career Development”, and “Challenging Employment Assignments and Career Opportunities” affect turnover intention. The study also sought to examine the moderating effect of organizational commitment on the relationship between the selected human resource management practices and turnover intention. The study was carried out in the Head Office and Branches in Addis Ababa. Clerical, Supervisory and Managerial staff were included in the sample. Multistage sampling was used to select a sample size of 196 employees from the Head Office and Branches in Addis Ababa. Both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were used to analyse the data. A multiple regression analysis was conducted to test how well the selected human resource management practices could predict turnover intention. The findings highlight the fact that the selected human resource management practices; person-organization fit, training and career development, challenging employment assignments and career opportunities have been found vital to employees and indeed influence turnover intention. It was also evident that organizational commitment partially moderates the relationship between the selected human resource management practices and employees’ turnover intention. To improve employees’ turnover intention, it is recommended that, the Bank must pay attention to its human resource so that it can achieve a competitive advantage through them. The Bank should review its remuneration, reward, and recognition programme as it appears to be important to the employees. Furthermore, it is recommended that employees should be given some level of empowerment and challenging assignments that will require them to make use of their full potential.
