In construction, the successful completion of a project is accomplished through an of efficient project management. All
construction-related disciplines working together are responsible for the completion of the project by the stipulated
completion date. However, poor professional employees’ retention is a significant issue in the construction industry. The
objective of this paper is to identify the determinants of employee turnover in the Malaysian construction industry with a
focus on professional employees. This study employed a doctrinal research approach consisting of a qualitative research
design. Two databases were used, in which four cases were obtained from the Labour Court and 19 cases were obtained
from the Industrial Court. Data has been analysed through application of the thematic analysis concept. Findings in this
study indicate three main themes of employee turnover determinants in construction industry namely organisation, personal
and external determinant. Inconsistencies of finding were found in current data as compared to previous studies including
training and development, compensation, stress, job satisfaction and external determinants. Since the data focuses on
Malaysia court cases, it is recommended that in the future data from other countries to be included. It is also proposed that a
diverse range of industries should be analysed in future studies to arrive at an in-depth conclusion. Finally, recommendation
for future studies to include more occupational groups for more generalised findings. |
