Quality of Work Life, Job Enrichment and Employee Retention in Selected Organizations in Ilorin, Nigeria
Abstract
Abstract Views: 0
This study examines the impact of quality of work life (QWL) and job enrichment on employee retention in selected organisations in the Ilorin metropolis, Kwara State, Nigeria. A questionnaire was used to gather first-hand information from 157 respondents who worked for the organisations under investigation. The chi-square statistical method was used to test two hypotheses. The findings reveal a strong positive correlation between QWL, job enrichment, and employee retention. Employees who experience high QWL and job enrichment report greater job satisfaction, organisational commitment, and an increased likelihood of staying with their current employer. These results underscore the critical role of QWL and job enrichment in enhancing employee retention and offering actionable insights for human resource management practices. It is recommended that organisations should invest in creating a positive workplace by updating tools and resources, increasing salaries, offering wellness programs, and fostering an inclusive and supportive culture.
