Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the impact of job satisfaction, job stress, compensation and rewards, work environment, and employment security on employee attrition during transitional periods. This study utilised a comprehensive research methodology, incorporating quantitative measures. This study employed a sample size of 150 individuals from various organisations that have experienced recent periods of disruption in their work environments. The investigation was conducted with rigour. The data was analysed using SPSS. The study findings indicate that the main factors contributing to employee turnover during a period of change are workplace stress, lack of advancement opportunities, and dissatisfaction with compensation. Furthermore, the study revealed that inadequate working conditions significantly contribute to staff turnover. However, the study has also found that employees who work in a profession during an organisation's transitional phase are more likely to stay with the company. Employees who receive support and encouragement during this critical period are more likely to exhibit loyalty towards the organisation. The investigation suggests several measures to mitigate staff turnover during periods of change, based on the analysis of the results.
