Abstract
The study seeks to find out the relationship between employee participation and
labour turn over in child care kitgum servants an NGO (formerly started as childcare
international)
At child care organization emphasis has been put on reducing labour turn over but
the organization has failed to perform to its expectations. The lack of employee
participation at child care has resulted in to poor relation ships among employees,
and employers and this has resulted to dissatisfaction at work where by most
employees feel alienated and of no value to the organization which has greatly
contributed to labour turn over.
The major objectives of the study are to find out employee participation in decision
making and how it can impact on labour turn over.
The study is mainly the literature review based on published materials like journals
and reports of different scholars, text books and the online sources from the
internet. It is also based on the findings from the employees at child care whom we
interviewed and extracted information from them.
The study is carried out at child care kitgum servants located in kitgum district and
has residential offices in Kampala -Rubaga Mubanda road, and branches in
Australia.
Findings revealed that employee participation reduces labour turn over since
participative management approach is viewed as management that has concern for
its people.
As a result of employee participation, employees feel empowered and part of the
organization .it is this sense of belonging that motivates employees which reduces
labour turn over.
Through employee participation employees are capable of amng out their
grievances and dissatisfaction to the employers so as corrective measures can be
taken to maintain the employees thus reducing labour turn over.
The recommendation put forward to ensure that employee participation becomes
successful like formation of committees by employees or representatives in charge
of representing their view to management.
Management should treat their employees as part of the organizations assets and
not just liabilities because without the human capital the organization would find it
hard to operate.
