Thesis
High turnover is a problem for HR management in todays public administration and should be addressed by enhancing job satisfaction levels of employees.
Abstract
Job dissatisfaction is often cited as a major reason for high turnover in public administration. Low pay, long hours, and poor working conditions are all contributing factors to dissatisfaction. In addition, many public servants feel undervalued and unappreciated. As a result, they are often more likely to leave their jobs than workers in other sectors. Although high turnover can be costly and disruptive, it is often seen as a necessary evil in public administration. By offering competitive salaries and benefits, and creating a positive work environment, employers can help reduce the incidence of job dissatisfaction and high turnover. The reason for this is that, ultimately, high turnover in public administration can be caused by a number of factors, including low wages, poor working conditions, and inadequate benefits. In many cases, government employees are not paid as well as their counterparts in the private sector, making it difficult to attract and retain experienced workers. Additionally, public servants often have to contend with cumbersome bureaucracy, inflexible work schedules, and red tape. These factors can make the job less appealing and lead to high turnover. While there may be no easy solution to the problem of high turnover in public administration, addressing the underlying causes can help to reduce turnover rates by increasing the job satisfaction levels of employees.
