TITLE:

“A Study on Identification of the Factors Causing Attrition Based on the

Employees Perception with reference to Gammon India Ltd.''

INTRODUCTION

Attrition is a critical issue in the industry these days. It’s the major problem which
highlights in all the organizations. Attrition is said to be the gradual reduction in the
number of employees through retirement, resignation or death. It can also be said as
Employee Turnover or Employee Defection. Whenever a well-trained and well-
adapted employee leaves the organization, it creates a vacuum. So, the organization
loses key skills, knowledge and business relationships. Administrators are greatly
interested in reducing Attrition in the organization, in such a way that it will
contribute to the maximum effectiveness, growth, and progress of the organization.

LITERATURE REVIEW

A framework of Human Resource Management, Dessler Garry,

The author describes that job stress is the main reason for employee attrition.
Problems such as alcoholism and drug abuse sometimes are the outcome of job stress.
Further the author describes that there are many reasons for stress .There are various
external factors which cause stress. These include lack of job security, work schedule,
pace of work, transportation problem, and workplace noise and the number and nature
of customers or clients.

Strategic Human Resource Management, Greer Charles R.,

The author suggests that organizations must have highly skilled and knowledgeable
employees if they want to become competitive in the industry. Organizations must
also have a relatively stable workforce because employee attrition directly works
against obtaining effective coordination and organizational learning that leads to
produce high quality products and services.

Human resource Management (text and cases) ,.Khanka S.S.,

S.S. Khanka (2009) describes in chapter number thirteen, page number 146, in his
book Human Resource Management (text and cases) that an employee resigns due to
various reasons. Resignation may be voluntary or involuntary. Ill health, marriage,
better job prospects in other organizations etc. are the reasons for voluntary
resignation by employee.

industrial workers not only in India but in the whole universe. When an employee
moves, shifts or migrates from one organization to another organization it is called as
employee turnover.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research is an original addition to the available knowledge, which contributes to its

further advancement. It is an attempt to pursue truth through the methods of study,
observation, comparison and experiment.

Research design:-

A research design helps to decide upon issues like what, when, where, How
much, by what means, etc., with regard to an enquiry or a research study. The
research design is the conceptual structures within which research is
conducted.

1. Exploratory Research Design:-

Exploratory research focuses on the discovery of new ideas and is generally based on
secondary data.

2. Descriptive Research:-

Descriptive research is undertaken when the researcher want to know the

characteristics of certain groups.

3. Casual or Experimental Researches:-

An experimental research is undertaken to identify causes and effect relationship

between two variables.

In this project Descriptive Research design method will be used.

Data collection-

Data collected from two methods they are explain below-

A) Primary Data:-

Information which will be gathered directly from the original source. Primary data
collection is necessary when a researcher cannot find the data needed in secondary
sources Following are some type of colleting primary data-

Survey,

Observation,

Interview,

Questionnaire

In this project I will take primary data from survey, observation, and questionnaires.

B) Secondary Data:-

Data which is are taken published and unpublished copies it is known as secondary
data. Following are some types of secondary data-

Books,

Magazine,

Printed articles,

E-mails.

In this project I have gathered information from internet, magazines, and printed
articles.

Sample Design:-

Measuring a small portion of something and then making a general statement about
the whole thing. This is a process of selecting a number of units for a study in such a
way that the units represent the larger group from which they are selected. Research

without sampling may be too costly and time consuming. Sampling reduces the study
population to a reasonable size that expenses are greatly reduced.

Sample Size:-

Data is going to collect from different departments of GAMMON INDIA LTD. In this
project my sample size will be 100.

Sampling Method:-

Probability Sampling

Selection of best and reasonable Rewards and recognition schemes for employees is
based on the studies of different department employees expectation to study them
better I will use stratified sampling method.

And from the non-probability sampling I will use accidental sampling. So that data
will be collected by picking out people in the most convenient and fastest way to
immediately get their reactions.

Methods of data collection:–

 Survey
 Panel (in-depth technique)
 Questionnaire
