Analysis of Data on Staff Turnover Using Association Rules and Predictive Techniques

Abstract

<p><strong>Purpose:</strong> The purpose of this paper is to present the results of an analysis and evaluation of data on employee turnover based on deep data mining using association rules and decision trees in a specific organisation.</p><p><strong>Methodology/Approach:</strong> For the analysis, we chose deep data mining methods, primarily a search for association rules using the Apriori algorithm in the R programming language. For the sake of supplementation and comparison of results, data were also analysed using the predictive decision trees method, applying the C5.0, rpart and ctree algorithms in the R program.</p><p><strong>Findings:</strong> The results of the analyses showed that observing the basic principles of correct communication from the beginning of an employment relationship, or during hiring, is justified. Communication and regular conversations between a superior and employees can help identify problems earlier, address them and reduce the number of people leaving the company. The results of the analysis helped the organisation to set measures to reduce the number of an employee leaving.</p><p><strong>Research Limitation/implication:</strong> A limiting factor in performing such analyses is the availability of quality data in the required quantity. Our most significant advantage when performing our analysis was that quality data were available. To create the final structure of the required data set, we used data from the organisation’s internal information systems.</p><p><strong>Originality/Value of paper:</strong> This contribution offers a new approach to analysing data on employee turnover, whose essence is that we need to find the most interesting and frequent correlations in a significant amount of data.</p>

The impact of new affective components on museum visitor retention: the context of major city event using SEM and CTree

“…The past decade has seen the rapid development of CTree application in many fields. A CTree was advanced (Hothorn and Zeileis, 2015) and extensively applied in social science (Rehbein et al , 2015; Rho et al , 2016; Girmanová and Gašparová, 2018). Ctree provides an exciting opportunity to advance our knowledge of consumer behaviour and identify cognitive patterns of the consumer.…”

A Proposed Model for Predicting Employee Turnover of Information Technology Specialists Using Data Mining Techniques

“…As the employee turnover problem has not one direct and obvious reason, data mining has been considered a promising approach for information and knowledge discovery [4]. This discovered knowledge can be extracted and accessed through a large amount of data using well define mining algorithms [5]. The data mining approach comprises a set of techniques that can be used to extract relevant information and interesting knowledge from data which might provide a solution to any business problem.…”
