Abstract:
The study investigated the relationship between labor laws compliance and the reduction of employee resignation. The objective of the study was to empirically determine how labor laws compliance relates to the reduction of employee resignation in electrical engineering firms in Rivers State in terms of forced resignation, inclusive resignation, and frustrated resignation. Therefore, the exploratory survey research design was adopted for the study. The study population consisted of eight hundred and forty-six (846) permanent staff from twenty-five (25) fully registered Electrical Engineering Firms in Rivers State. By employing the Krejcie and Morgan Sample Size Determination Table of 1970, the study's sample size consisted of two hundred and sixty-five (265) permanent staff from twenty-five (25) fully registered Electrical Engineering Firms in Rivers State. Considering the disparity in the staff strength of the organizations, Bowley's (1960) Population Appropriation Formula was applied to determine the sample unit for each of the firms. A total of two hundred and sixty-five (265) copies of the questionnaire were distributed, and the researcher could retrieve 253 copies of the questionnaire correctly filled. The data obtained from the field were analyzed using Spearman's Rank Order Correlation Coefficient and t-test with the aid of SPSS Version 22.0. In the study, three hypotheses were tested using Spearman Rank Order Correlation. The study found a significant positive relationship between labor laws compliance and the reduction of employee resignation in electrical engineering firms in Rivers State in terms of forced resignation, inclusive resignation, and frustrated resignation. The study concluded that labor laws compliance are labor tools organizations can utilize to reduce employee resignation, especially in terms of forced resignation, inclusive resignation, and frustrated resignation. The study recommended, among others, that electrical engineering firms should pay fair wages, overtime allowances, extra bonuses, and attractive salaries in order to boost employee satisfaction, which will bring about significant employee retention.
