The Impact of Job Training, job satisfaction and Alternative Job Opportunities on Job Turnover in Libyan Oil Companies

Job turnover has been a longstanding concern to academic researchers whereby numerous researchers have resulted in the classification of factors that cause turnover intentions among employees. Both Western and Asian context has been well explored, but the literature remain scant on the issue in the context of North African countries especially Libya. This study is an attempt to address the gap in literature and aimed at determining the relationship amid training, job satisfaction and alternative jobs on employee turnover in the Libyan oil sector. The correlation findings revealed that training has insignificant relationship with job turnover, whereas job satisfaction and alternative job are positively related to job turnover. Finally, recombinations are made for future research and implications for Libyan oil companies to improve their practices. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
