Employee turnover and the social outreach (breadth): international evidence from the microfinance industry

“…Also, these organizations tend to be proactive and have developed appropriate mechanisms to ensure the continuous replacement of employees without disrupting the overall operations. Previous studies partly attest to the findings of this study and suggest that employee turnover may have a positive impact on a firm performance (Call et al , 2015; Hancock et al , 2013; Ismaila, 2021; Lee, 2018). While these explanations are very general and subjective, the limitations of the data did not allow us to provide further empirical justifications.…”

“…Park and Shaw (2013) observed that involuntary turnover has no adverse effect on an organization, as it lowers the level of distraction among outstanding workers. De Winne et al (2019) also found a non-linear association between workers' turnover and firm performance, which may be attributed to a decrease in labour costs and the replacement of underachieving personnel with new workers with fresh ideas (De Winne et al, 2019;Godfroid et al, 2022;Hancock et al, 2013;Ismaila, 2021;Lee, 2018). Other studies (Glebbeek and Bax, 2004;Hancock et al, 2013;Meier and Hicklin, 2008) have also confirmed the non-linear relationship between workers turnover and firm performance while stressing that employee turnover has some positive benefits vital for firms' development.…”

“…Over the years, a plethora of studies have examined the relationship between employee turnover and firm performance using country and region-level data, and their findings have found both positive and negative relationships (Alam, 2015; De Winne et al , 2019; Giao et al , 2020; Godfroid et al , 2022; Ismaila, 2021; Laosebikan et al , 2018; Lee, 2018; Mwinyimvua, 2013; Peltokorpi et al , 2015). Li et al (2021) stressed that the voluntary exit of employees in an organization like an MFI is costly, particularly when exposure, talent and experience are transferred to rivals in the business circle.…”
