| dc.description.abstract | There are many reasons employees choose to leave their company. According to Griffith, Hom, and Gaertner (2000), there are several reasons why employees choose to quit. Demographic factors (such as education, marriage, and tenure), job satisfaction, organization and the work environment (such as salary, leadership, co-workers, work pressure, and promotion opportunities), job content, external influence, employee achievement, organizational commitment, job search, and concern about job hopping. However, the majority of the research focuses on demographic, job satisfaction, employee achievement, and organizational commitment while less of the research is about leadership. According to Hackman and Oldham (1980), the management leadership style and willingness to allow employees to work autonomously also impacts employee decisions to stay or leave. At the same time, if employees feel positive about management commitment and agree with the goals and values of the organization, they are willing to contribute for the greater good of the organization and they are more committed to their job. They also will want to stay as long as they can and generally will not resign their position (Porter, Steers, and Mowday, 1982).
The research was performed on people who are currently employed through anonymous surveys. 2,013 samples were collected via online and paper questionairre between January 2018 and Februrary 2018. According to this research, continuing commitment leadership type has no significant correlation with empathy leadership type or structure leadership type while other leadership types have significant correlation with empathy and structure leadership types. Emotional commitment leadership type has no significant correlation with continuing commitment leadership type but does have correlation with guideline leadership type and job hopping. Continuing commitment leadership type has significant correlation with guideline leadership type and job hopping. Guideline leadership type has correlation with all variables. Job hopping has correlation with all variables.
Businesses should focus on investment and commitment to their employees and improved human resources management as well as management leadership to increase organizational commitment and reduce employee turnover.
