EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In today’s business, employees are considered as first customers to most of the organizations
and it’s important for every organization to make the best of human resources that they have.

As part of technological world, the telecom companies are developing widely and they have
more of human resource, but there is a theory that the organizations having more human
resources, their employees suffer from the strict policies and misbehavior that results which
finally leads to employee turnover.

Likewise, Afghan Wireless Communication Company is one of Telecom Company in

Afghanistan, having more of human resources with higher turnover rate.

The project will carry out 5 phases as Problems identification in Afghan Wireless
Communication Company, Selecting the main problem, including a case study (Problem
relevant), Data Analysis, And conclusions.

1.0 INTRODUCTION TO AWCC COMPANY

The Afghan Wireless Communication Company, is the first Wireless Communication

Company in country.

Afghan-American Entrepreneur Mr. Ehsanullah Bayat won the exclusive license from
Taliban government to stablish Afghan Wireless as a Joint venture with Afghanistan’s
Ministry of Communications that owns 20% of the company

In 1998 Mr. Bayat was financially supported from Stuart Bentham and Lord Michael (British
Entrepreneurs) after passage of once year the AWCC had Re-enabled country’s international
calling code also start on set up of computerized telephone communications in Kabul and
Kandahar provinces replacing the outdated manual telephone switchboards so the country’s
telecommunications had long relied up upon.

In 1999 the Taliban government granted AWCC a 15 year monopoly on mobile phone traffic
in Afghanistan. Taliban Government were overthrown from Afghanistan by an American
invasion in year 2001. AWCC was nevertheless the first communication company licensed
in order to provide GSM wireless service in country. On April 6, 2002 Afghan interim
leader Hamid Karzai publicly made the first phone call, and communicated with the Afghan
ambassador to the United Nations in New York City. After establishment of AWCC
competing communication companies such as Roshan started to appear in market.

By June 2008 AWCC succeed to have 2 million subscribers/users across all 34 provinces
of Afghanistan.

AWCC provides mobile services in country. It offers wireless solutions for users and business
enterprises, through this AWCC keeps mobile phone professionals connected to their
information, email, colleagues, Family and friends while communicating, traveling,
socializing, or away from their Office desks. The AWCC also offers prepaid and postpaid
services also roaming services. In addition, it also offers Family and friend packages to the
users within a low price.

WHY AWCC IS SELECTED AS CASE PROJECT

Technology has become a part of our daily life and Telecom Industry has known to be
contributing more towards sustainable development of our country, Telecommunication
companies are known to have more of human resources and providing employment
opportunities than any other industries. Thus, our team has selected AWCC which is the first
telecommunication company in Afghanistan, Secondly as long as we started our research on
telecommunication turnover rate in Afghanistan companies, we found AWCC with a high
turnover rate compared to other telecommunication companies, Also one of our team
members (Mr. Hafizullah Rasuli) who has occupied customer representative position with
AWCC and questionnaire form distribution was part of our project requirement, hence
through the aforementioned personnel we were able to reach AWCC employees through
convenient way, and our team believes that our small piece of work has an effective impact
on the employees of AWCC and overall effectiveness of the company.

2.0 PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION

After multiple structured meetings with the HR Department of Afghan Wireless

Communication Company (AWCC), the following issues were noted as major concern by
the AWCC HR Department.

2.1 CENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The Afghan Wireless Communication Company utilizes a centralized management

approach where only the company’s senior management staff are given the power to take
decisions. This approach has resulted in demotivating the lower and medium tier staff
for keeping them totally isolated from the decision-making process.

2.2 NO BRAINSTORMING/FOSTERING ENVIRONMENT

The Afghan Wireless Communication Company in comparison with the country’s other
private Telecommunication organizations/companies have lesser conducive environment for
the employees to foster their knowledge and be fully utilized to the benefit of the company.
Additionally, no process and procedures are in place for brainstorming when it comes to

9
problem solution. Therefore, the company seems to be left behind in seeking innovative
solutions to the intrinsic problems associated with the telecommunication companies.

2.3 RELATIVELY LOWER WAGE/SALARY SCALE FOR EMPLOYEES

The Afghan Wireless Company does not provide satisfactory compensation packages in
comparison with other telecommunication companies in Afghanistan. For example, Etisalat
communication company is providing its employees with 13 months’ salary in a year along
with one (1) month Eid Bonus whereas Afghan Wireless Company considers only 12
months’ salary in a year for their employees.

2.4 NO CAREER DEVELOPMENT TRAININGS ABROAD

Per our finding from the company’s HR department, AWCC does not plan capacity building
trainings for their staff abroad. Although, the company provides trainings to its employees
via in-house subject matter experts, the in-house trainings are not motivating thus results in
being lesser effective in the employees’ capacity development.

2.5 HIGH EMPLOYEE TURNOVER RATE DURING THE PAST YEARS

The Afghan Wireless Communication Company HR Specialist stated that; it has been
experienced that AWCC has the highest turnover rate in the past year. Employees are
leaving their jobs due to multiple reasons. Even some of the newly hired employees left
their jobs before completing their probationary period.

AWCC’s HR specialist added that as an average, nearly 300 employees of the company left
their jobs with AWCC during the year 2017. Some of the main reasons for employees
resigning from their positions were introduced as:

• Relatively incompetent wages/salaries

• Lack of training opportunities for the staff
• Lack of transportation services for the company’s male employees
• Strict and tedious security search points for employees
• Keeping lower and medium tier employees isolated from decision making
processes.
• Use of traditional approaches towards problem solution

10
2.6 STRICT SECURITY SYSTEM DURING EMPLOYEES ENTRANCE TO THE
OFFICE

Afghan Wireless Communication Company has the strictest security approaches for their
staff while entering to the office compared to other telecommunication companies in
Afghanistan. The strict security measures during the employees’ entrance to the office is
perceived as company’s lack of trust on its employees. Therefore, the employees perceive as
not being trusted by the company thus they search for other opportunities. It takes the
employees half hour to get into their offices after their arrival to the office main gate.
Additionally, the employees are not allowed to carry their smart phones with them to their
offices. All these valid but tedious security measures has resulted in employees’
disappointment and frustration that leads to employees’ resignations.

2.7 TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES ONLY FOR FEMALES

Transportation which could be a great motivation factor for the employees is only provided
to the female employees at AWCC causing significant demotivation to the male employees.
Additionally, employees are not reimbursed for their transportation costs. Therefore, most
male employees cannot sustain longer with lower wages while higher transportation cost to
the office and back to home.

3.0 SELECTING THE MAIN PROBLEM AND DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS

Employee turnover is a very important factor, which can have higher negative impact on over
all organizational goals. The following project will trace the factors and reasons that effect
of employee turnover in the telecommunication sector of Afghanistan. The Sample size
chosen from the Population for this research study was the employees of Afghan Wireless
Communication Company in Afghanistan.

For this study, survey method was adopted by floating questionnaire which served as a Tool
for collecting research data.

The questionnaire was administrated by www.Scrib.com, and was distributed to the

employees of AWCC main branch and sub branches in Kabul, Afghanistan.

11
The research results have revealed that employee turnover depending upon

Factors such as (Job satisfaction/dissatisfaction levels, HR policies and practices, Training

and Career development, Pay and benefits, Manager’s attitude, Job Security, Freedom of
speech, Coordination and Communication, Organizational Culture, Work and Family Life
Balance) have significant Impact on organizational effectiveness; these factors are co related,
proving a strong relationship in between.

By using Pearson Correlation analysis, our project research found that there is a significant
relationship between employee turnovers

And organizational effectiveness as well as the affecting factors. To investigate employee

turnover in detail, our project research seeks and examines the causes effects and measures
on employee turnover in AWCC and suggests some strategies on how AWCC can maintain
their employees and decrease turnover rate to a controllable rate at a significant margin.

4.0 INTRODUCTION TO MAIN PROBLEM

For all organizations, especially in telecom sector, which are supposed to have more of
human resources, intention of employees quitting and shifting to other Organization has
become one of the main challenges to deal with. To develop the understanding of this many-
sided phenomenon, our project seeks to identify different factors affecting employee turnover
at AWCC. Employee turnover is the most challenging activity of human resource of an
organization in which management is highly focused to censure. The reason for being highly
focused is because of fact that organizations make sufficient investment in their employees
in the forms of development, training, workflow, reimbursement planning, bonuses,
accommodation, and building of viewpoint to achieve objectives and goals of the
organization. (Khaliqi, 2018)

On the other hand, the increasing consequences of employee turnover can cause negative
effects on the organization’s growth, the expenditure of management as shown in most cases
are revealed on income, and finally lead to decreased in efficiency. As a result, human
resource management is mostly focused for is insuring to control turnover rate. Further from
side of management as well as academic viewpoints of employees’ turnover has received
extensive attention in organizations. Its main focus is to understand its causes as well as

12
effects of turnover on organizational effectiveness of AWCC, have known to be there is a
negative relationship between employee turnover and job satisfaction.

Shortened from my past experience and studies through my academic studies and career
experiences I have mostly found that the success of an organization depends on two
dimensions, first one is social and second one is mental/physical. These factors are made on
the social circle basis, job description, development skills on the basis of personal
relationship and all situations linked with skills needed to do the job. The social factors
explain the personal relationship and employee’s social network inside and outside the
organizations. Employee socialization is the base for this factor. (Khaliqi, 2018)

One of the most preferred an Simple solution by many organizations in Afghanistan to the
employee’s job turnover occurrences that is to pay employees more benefits than the
compensation. However only money is not the solution and motive for it, unluckily
employee’s job turnover has many sole and combined reasons depending on a number of
problems associated with work and non-work related issues dealing, Employees who are
working in the organization blame work and working environment and therefore become
discouraged with their jobs, as it was part of inter task divergence Which was caused by
collective responsibilities of family, work, personal and community. (Rasuli, 2017)

The turnover rate is that at which stage or percentage an organization loses or retains their
employees. Simply stated By Sikandar Najee an HR manager of a private company that
employee’s job turnover is “how long an employee remains connected to one organization”.
On the other hand willingness of employee’s leave the job and resign the organization is
described as turnover intention. The subject behind Intentional turnover is habitually
described mostly is affiliated with many factors, mainly with a relation among employee’s
economic, social and psychological practice suggested ideas of correcting and preventing
employee’s job turnover. On the basis of our project research, we would like to give some
recommendations to conduct exit interviews forms in the institutions so the employees
quitting their job will state their exact reason leaving and quitting their job, and derive other
solutions for employees leaving the organization. Interviews and surveys are the best sources
to find people information. The effect of employee turnover results extra work load on the
remaining employees, on their work performance and an organization’s effectiveness, those
employees who are in the organization have to put extra efforts and have to work extra hours

13
to balance the work of those who left the organization which is believed to be a burden on
the shoulder of the employees finally leads to increased workload of employees leads to
decrease employee morale and increases stress level, which in turn Increases employee
absenteeism and finally employees resignation from their job. (Ali, 2018)

Organizations all over the world are giving more attention and importance to this issue as
they know that high level employee’s turnover, slows down the performance of the
employee’s as well as organization efficiency and finally makes it tough to survive in the
market. On the other hand it increases the expenses related to recruitment and new employee
training in AWCC.

Employee turnover influences both organizations and their working employees,

Organizations will have to incur the expenses on recruiting and training of new employees,
meanwhile employees may have to learn specific skills relating to new jobs. Incoming
employees on the other hand may not be more highly skilled and better educated to the culture
and norms as well as job description of the organization. Therefore, employee turnover is
known to decrease organizational performance.

Employee’s turnover is mostly a common issue and still exist throughout the world in most
of the organizations in Afghanistan while the unemployment rate is high still people leave
their job they don’t like depending on their standards of satisfaction, In the most developed
business nations, the employee’s turnover rate is still very high. Furthermore, from a gender
point of view, male pay may be more than that of the female, demanding parallel
qualification, skills, training and responsibility. The ability or level of performance of tasks
accomplished by the employees will be achieved only if organization’s employees are
satisfied with the internal environment.

Organizational effectiveness is crucial for the success of any business in the economy. In
recent theories, organizational effectiveness has been recognized with high productivity or
with the maximization of the profits or with

Employee good morale and efficient service, the more employees are loyal and want to stick
to your organization, the more chances of higher productivity and positivity, Organizational
effectiveness generally referring to those

Organizations that have the potential to achieve maximum output and targeted goals,
specifically to nature of the business. For achieving sustainable and increased business

14
results, an organization needs to implement good strategy and engage their employees in the
routing activities related to their job description. For creating organizational effectiveness,
the owner or managing directors of the company need to focus on engaging and aligning their
employees as well as motivating them for their achievements, the structure, people
management models and competencies to the organizational strategy. This commitment
results

In high employee retention, high financial performance and high customers’ satisfaction.

5.0 IMPACT OF EMPLOYEE TURNOVR ON ORGANIZATIONAL

EFFECTIVENESS IN AFGHAN WARLESS COMMUNICATION
COMPANY

While talking about Afghan employees, they are more sensitive and emotional about their
organizations and jobs and mangers, as most of them are not trained well enough to care and
love for their working company, which seems to alter upcoming working environment
problems.

On the other hand, they try to work hard for their respective departments, building strong and
friendly relationship between them and the organization which result in higher organizational
effectiveness and finally making the organization succeed in respected matters of the
organizations.

The telecommunication sector in Afghanistan plays a major role in the country’s economic
growth and sustainable development, which resulted in 54% of direct foreign investment in
Afghanistan (Aryobee, 2012). An organization’s success depends mainly on employee
retention, which will help the organizations reduce employee’s job turnover and increasing
organizational effectiveness (Khaliqi, 2018).The telecom sector is determined to develop
competitiveness to handle worldwide pressures and customer’s demands, hereby a flexible
working environment is highly preferred. The government of Afghanistan has brought
different structural changes for the financial area to handle and fulfill the future challenges.
The changes in the Afghanistan telecommunication sector are not only limited in the direction
of economic and social areas rather it has affected human resources different needs and wants
(Khaliqi, 2018).

15
The employee turnover rate has been increased due to these changes. (Khaliqi, 2018)Quoted
that telecommunication sector of Afghanistan is facing different challenges in retaining their
employees due to privatization.

Past research studies have concluded that employee turnover has a negative impact on the
organization’s overall performance with the help of experimental and theoretical analysis. It
is due to organization’s daily routines suspension. Most of researchers, on the other side
found that organizations is benefited due to innovative thinking and fresh starters, which
increases employees ‘motivational level that carry to a new organizational job (Khaliqi,
2018).

6.0 PROBLEM STATEMENT

The Afghan Wireless Communication Company as diagnosed during our research is facing
many challenges regarding employee turnover.

Afghan Wireless Communication Company’s HR Specialist stated that; around 120

employees voluntarily leave Afghan Wireless Communication Company on yearly basis.
(Khaliqi, 2018)

Ultimately this leads to reduced employee’s performance, which ultimately impacts the
organizational effectiveness as finally can switch the company to decline state, since hiring
new employees would be costly and time consuming for the company. This assigned project
will study and identify the reasons of employee turnover rate in the Afghan Wireless
Communication Company and suggests different recommendations or strategies for
overcoming high turnover rate to enhance organizational effectiveness.

7.0 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

In order to meet the aforementioned purpose, this project will address the following
objectives:

• Questionnaire forms distribution for the Kabul base employees of the Afghan
Wireless Communication Company to acquire their responses and data entry over
SPSS software.
• To investigate the correlation of variables such as; Job satisfaction/dissatisfaction
levels, HR policies and practices, Training and Career development, Pay and

16
 benefits, Manager’s attitude, Job Security, Freedom of speech, Coordination and
Communication, Organizational Culture, Work and Family Life Balance with the
level of job satisfaction
affecting employee turnover that can be used to lessen employee turnover in the
telecom sector.
• Providing recommendations on how to overcome employee’s turnover in Afghan
Wireless Communication Company.

8.0 CAUSES OF EMPLOYEE’S TURNOVER

Employee turnover normally occurs as a result of job dissatisfaction and unhappiness of an

employee from his/her current job working environment. Being unhappy is not only the
reason in a job, why individuals leave one job for another job. If the employees possess the
skills and qualifications that are in demand by the employer organization, they may be hired
and compensated higher pay, better facilities or career development opportunities. So it is
very important to recognize and know the difference between those employees who leave the
job because they are not satisfied with their job and those employees who leave their job for
other reasons. Obviously, it’s important for organizations to control and reduce turnover
rates. However, in order to reduce these rates, organizations must first understand the main
causes and reasons employees quit their job and leave for other positions. Good people don’t
leave good organizations—they leave poor managers! (Smith, 2009)

9.0 SOME OF THE IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO

EMPLOYEE TURNOVER ARE:

9.1 RUDE BEHAVIOR

Studies have shown that everyday humiliations have an opposing effect on productivity and
result in good employees quitting. Rudeness, assigning blame, back-biting, playing favorites
and revenges are among reasons that causes employee turnover. Feeling angry and mistreated
is not acceptable in a good work environment. (Smith, 2009)

17
9.2 WORK-LIFE IMBALANCE

As economically concerned, organizations seek to demand that one person do the work of
two or more people. This is especially true when an organization downsizes or restructures,
resulting in longer hours and weekend work. Employees are forced to choose between a
personal life and a work life. This does not sit well with the current, younger workforce, and
this is compounded when both spouses or significant others work. (Smith, 2009)

9.3 THE JOB DID NOT MEET EXPECTATIONS

It has been experienced that the duties and responsibilities could vary from the initial
description and what was promised during the interviewing stage. When this happens it can
lead to mistrust. The employee starts to think, “What else are they not being truthful about?”
When trust is missing, there can be no real employee ownership. (Smith, 2009)

9.4 EMPLOYEE MISALIGNMENT

Organizations should never hire employees (internal or external) unless they are qualified for
the job and in sync with the culture and goals of the organization. Managers should not try to
force a fit when there is none of the skills and capabilities required for that specific job. This
is like trying to force a size-nine foot into a size-eight shoe. Neither management nor
employee will be happy, and it usually ends up badly. (Smith, 2009)

9.5 FEELING UNDERVALUED

Everyone wants to be recognized and praised for a job well done. It’s part of human’s nature.
Recognition does not have to be monetary. The most effective recognition is sincere
appreciation. Recognizing employees is not simply a nice thing to do but an effective way to
communicate appreciation for positive effort, while also reinforcing those actions and
behaviors. (Smith, 2009)

9.6 COACHING AND FEEDBACK ARE LACKING

Effective managers know how to help employees improve their performance and consistently
give coaching and feedback to all employees. Ineffective managers put off giving feedback

18
to employees even though they instinctively know that giving and getting honest feedback is
essential for growth and building successful teams and organizations. (Smith, 2009)

9.7 DECISION-MAKING ABILITY IS LACKING

Far too many managers micromanage to the level of minutia. Micromanagers appear
insecure regarding their employees’ ability to perform their jobs without the manager
directing every move. Organizations need employees to have ownership and be
empowered! Empowered employees have the freedom to make suggestions and decisions.
Today “empowerment” seems to be a catch-all term for many ideas about employee
authority and responsibility. However, as a broad definition, it means an organization gives
employees latitude to do their jobs by placing trust in them. Employees, in turn, accept that
responsibility and embrace that trust with enthusiasm and pride of ownership. (Smith,
2009)

9.8 PEOPLE SKILLS ARE INADEQUATE

Many managers were promoted because they did their jobs very well and got results.
However, that doesn’t mean they know how to lead. Leaders aren’t born—they are made.
People skills can be learned and developed, but it really helps if a manager has a natural
ability to get along with people and motivate them. Managers should lead by example, reward
by deed. (Smith, 2009)

9.9 ORGANIZATIONAL INSTABILITY

Management’s constant reorganization, changing direction and shuffling people around

disconnects employees from the organization’s purpose. Employees don’t know what’s going
on, what the priorities are or what they should be doing. This causes frustration leading to
confusion and inefficiencies. (Smith, 2009)

9.10 RAISES AND PROMOTIONS FROZEN

Over the years, studies have shown that money isn’t usually the primary reason people leave
an organization, but it does rank high when an employee can find a job earning 20 to 25
percent more elsewhere. Raises and promotions are often frozen for economic reasons but

19
are slow to be resumed after the crisis has passed. Organizations may not have a goal to offer
the best compensation in their area, but if they don’t, they better pay competitive wages and
benefits while making their employees feel valued! This is a critical combination. (Smith,
2009)

9.11 FAITH AND CONFIDENCE SHAKEN

When employees are asked to do more and more, they see less evidence that they will
ultimately share in the fruits of their labor. When revenues and profits increase along with
workload, organizations should take another look at their overall compensation packages.
Employees know when a company is doing well, and they expect to be considered as critical
enablers of that success. Organizations need to stop talking about employees being their most
important asset while treating them as consumables or something less than valuable. If an
organization wants empowered employees putting out quality products at a pace that meets
customer demand, they need to demonstrate appreciation through actions. (Smith, 2009)

9.12 GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES NOT AVAILABLE

A lot of good talent can be lost if the employees feel trapped in dead-end positions. Often
talented individuals are forced to job-hop from one company to another in order to grow in
status and compensation. The most successful organizations find ways to help employees
develop new skills and responsibilities in their current positions and position them for
future advancement within the enterprise. Employees who can see a potential for growth
and comparable compensation are more inclined to stay with an organization

As managers, we can spend time arguing whether these are the most important reasons good
employees quit…or we can find ways to entice them to stay!

Jim Smith's article "12 Reasons Employees Leave Organizations

10.0 NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF EMPLOYEE TURNOVER

High employee turnover is a warning sign of low morale among an organization’s workforce,
which is one of the factors that affect the productivity of the organization (Corcoran, 2012)

20
10.1 IT IS EXPENSIVE

Employee turnover can be very costly for an organization, particularly if it is a voluntary

resignation of human capital investment from the organization and the subsequent
replacement process. These replacement costs may include the search of the external labour
market for a possible substitute, selection between competing substitutes, induction, formal
and informal training of the replacement until he or she attains a reasonable level of
performance that is equivalent to that of the individual who quit. (Corcoran, 2012)

A report from research conducted by The Center for American Progress shows that for all
positions, except for executives and physician’s jobs that require very specific skills, the
typical (median) cost of turnover was 21% of an employee’s annual salary. Also, for workers
earning less than $50,000 annually—which covers three-quarters of all workers in the United
States—the studies show a typical cost of turnover of 20% of salary, the same as across
positions earning $75,000 a year or less, which includes 9 in 10 U.S. workers. (Corcoran,
2012)

10.2 IT RESULTS IN THE LOSS OF EXPERIENCED EMPLOYEES

Building a culture that encourages knowledge transfer and succession is a mission-

critical strategy for the growth and sustainability of an organization. According
to Urbancová Hana and Linhartová Lucie:
“Labor turnover results in an organization’s inability to ensure knowledge
continuity.”
From the statistics available from the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, only about 1/9 of separations are retirement related or another form of
planned separation, while 6/10 are resignations and about 3/10 are layoffs. This shows
the level of knowledge and experience loss suffered by organizations as a result of
employee turnover. (Corcoran, 2012)

10.3 IT AFFECTS PRODUCTIVITY

Employee productivity and general firm performance can be negatively affected when there
is high employee turnover. As I stated earlier, employee turnover leads to loss of experience
and trained staff that know the policies and goals of the organization and their individual
roles in achieving these goals.

However, a new employee may require some time to learn these roles. In a 2012 Allied
Workforce Mobility Survey, about 30% of companies said that it takes a year or longer for a
new employee to reach the full productivity level of a departing employee. Therefore, high
employee turnover means having many inexperienced employees, which will eventually lead
to lower employee productivity.

Companies with fewer employees may find it especially difficult to replace workers, as
workers may fill a variety of different specialized roles; this can create a serious problem for
small businesses, which will affect their performance and productivity. (Corcoran, 2012)

10.4 IT AFFECTS PROFIT

Aside from the cost of replacing an employee discussed earlier, other negative effects stated
here and others not discussed could combine to affect a firm’s profit. The cost settlement of
employees’ benefits (gratuity and others) and the cost of litigations, as some separations may
lead to legal disputes, all combine to affect company performance, which ultimately affects
the overall profit of the firm. (Corcoran, 2012)

10.5 MANAGEMENT FRUSTRATION

Managers quickly get frustrated with the constantly revolving door of employees. In retail,
for instance, a manager finds himself spending so much time hiring and training new
employees he can't coach and develop those who have been around. This contributes to
longer-term employees getting upset and leaving. Plus, poorly equipped and developed
employees place more burden on the manager to work hands-on in the business or store. This
takes away from his decision-making and supervisory duties. (Kokemuller)

22
10.6 DISTRACTIONS

One of the worst effects of high turnover is that it requires focus to fix. Some businesses hire
consultants to help get out of a turnover rut. As you invest time, money and resources to
correct high turnover, you take away from diversifying your business, marketing to new
customers and improving on performance. (Kokemuller)

10.7 CUSTOMER DISSATISFACTION

For service-oriented careers such as account management and customer service, high
turnover can lead to customer dissatisfaction. Newer representatives lack expertise and
knowledge, and customers have no way to build a relationship with one particular service
representative. (Moore, 2017)

11.0 METHODOLOGY

11.1 RESEARCH INSTRUMENT

Data collection for this case project research was through primary and secondary sources.
The Primary source of information was through structured questionnaires which were
distributed at Main and Sub branches of AWCC, Therefore the targeted population areas
were the employees of Afghan Wireless Communication Company, and the secondary source
of information was through the Interview, internet and articles from different magazines and
journals.

13.0 CONCLUSION

After an extensive research study conducted results have been drawn in order to locate the
causes of employee turnover in the Afghan Wireless Communication Company. The current
research study found that there is a

Significant relationship between the employee’s turnover (Job satisfaction/dissatisfaction

levels, HR policies and practices, Training and Career development, Pay and benefits,
Manager’s attitude, Job Security, Freedom of speech, Coordination and Communication,
Organizational Culture, Work and Family Life Balance) and organizational effectiveness.
Hence, organizations need to concentrate on the employee’s needs and improve working
conditions in order to decrease high turnover rate and finally enhance organizational
effectiveness. From this study, responses gathered has proved that strong correlations
regarding employee’s job turnover (Job satisfaction/dissatisfaction levels, HR policies and
practices, Training and Career development, Pay and benefits, Manager’s attitude, Job
Security, Freedom of speech, Coordination and Communication, Organizational Culture,
Work and Family Life Balance) were true; hence these independent variables are Directly
associated to increase organizational effectiveness and control employee turnover rate. If
employees of the telecommunication sector voluntarily quits, it will be a great loss to the
organization. It is more expensive to recruit, train, and “bring up to Speed” new substitutes.
Therefore, it is important to comprehend the factors of the employee’s turnover before they
make a decision to quit the organization which can affect organizational effectiveness.
