You are proposing a study aimed at investigating whether the high employee turnover across the South African telecommunications sector is gender sensitive. Your study will assess whether differing sets of bio-demographic, perceived work environmental, and labour market variables explain differences for men and women in actual turnover decisions.
You have decided that a quantitative research methodology constitutes the most appropriate approach for answering the following four (4) main research questions of the proposed study: -
Do female employees report higher job satisfaction than male employees with similar job descriptions across the South African telecommunications sector?
- Is there a gender difference in talented employees' actual turnover decisions across the South African telecommunications sector?
- Is there a gender difference in the cost of actual turnover decisions across the South African telecommunications sector?
- What practical recommendations can be made to the management of South African telecommunications companies on leveraging gender to mitigate employee turnover decisions?
Answer ALL the questions in this section.
