Abstract
Employee turnover has been considered as major problem for most organizations, especially in the tyre manufacturing industry. Management of companies should minimize employee turnover through their better HRM practices. Therefore, this study attempted to identify to the relationship between HRM practices and employee turnover intention among employees in the tyre manufacturing industry in Sri Lanka. And also it identified the moderating effect of the working environment on the relationship between Human Resource Management (HRM) practices and turnover intention. The study was based on six hypotheses that were constructed to reveal whether performance appraisal, rewards, training and development and working environment significantly affect employee turnover intention. These three HRM practices and working environment were identified based on previous literature. Furthermore, this study was conducted among 278 employees who work in tyre production sections from three tyre manufacturing companies. Moreover, the study collected data using a structured questionnaire and analyzed through reliability analysis, descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. Results of the analysis revealed that performance appraisal, rewards, training and development had a significant negative impact on employee turnover intention. Further, the working environment as a moderator significantly decreased the relationship between HRM practices and turnover intention.
