Abstract
The main objective of this study is to identify core reasons for employee's turnover. The study is descriptive and cross-sectional. Twenty turnover intentions are identified from the literature and a questionnaire is designed on 5 point likert-scale for data collection. A sample of 160 respondents has been randomly selected from the textile industry of Pakistan. The data has been analyzed through one sample t-test and one-way ANOVA. The study reveals the most prominent factors responsible for employee's intentions to leave and offer practitioners and researchers some practical recommendations to retain the workforce.
