“…As expected, age has a statistically significant negative effect on labour turnover, indicating that young people are more likely to make turnover decisions than their older counterparts. Because young employees are more likely to feel dissatisfied with their working conditions or other aspects relative to older workers, and the relatively lower cost of switching employers in the meantime would increase their turnover intentions (Aguiar do Monte, 2012).…”

This article addresses the unresolved question of whether recent technological change causes job instability in a non-western context. China is now the world’s largest user of industrial robots. A Lewis turning point has been predicted, involving a transition from a plentiful supply of rural low-cost workers to a labour shortage economy in which rising labour costs drive labour-technology substitution. The routine-biased technological change hypothesis suggests that technology-induced routinisation in job task content has a profound impact on employment structure. This study captures the extent of routinisation of jobs in the transitional context of China and examines the incidence and impact of routinisation on labour turnover in the labour market. Using rotating panel data from the China Labour-force Dynamics Survey 2012, 2014 and 2016, this study, based on individual information with regard to flexibility in work schedules and degree of autonomy in workload and task content on the job, follows a recently developed measure to construct a routine intensity index and indicates a division into three routine intensity groups. The empirical findings show that the probability of job mobility is significantly increased with the magnitude of routine task intensity, suggesting that the process of technology-induced routinisation is strongly associated with labour turnover.

“…By [25], the dissatisfaction of women employee in garments industry spreads promptly to their workmates that damages the goodwill of the industry. Due to dissatisfaction among employees especially in privates sectors encourages the employees to search new job and finally decline the productive capabilities of employees, break down their morale and concentration towards work is decreased dramatically [3].

The paper contributes to research on employee satisfaction theory through analysing relationship between Job security (JS), job innovativeness (JI), internal communication (IC) and compassion & self-sacrifice (CSS) as antecedents of employee's satisfaction (ES) in NGOs sectors in Bangladesh, and the moderating role of education & training (ET) in this relationship. The conceptual framework is examined using structural equation modelling. Data analysed has been drawn from 260 employees of BRAC NGOs located in Comilla and Chandpur districts of Bangladesh. The findings of this research positively strengthen the Non-government Organizations (NGOs) of Bangladesh with providing the job satisfaction to the employee by exploring the antecedents of employee's satisfaction in NGOs. These outcomes of the study are consistent with the conclusion that employers of NGOs working in Bangladesh should cordially focus on employee's satisfactory factors for the sake of assuring better performance and productivity.

“…This leads to tension between employers and their employees as the former seek any opportunity to withhold the latter's legally guaranteed benefits, decreasing worker satisfaction. In fact, surveys have found that, in general, workers in Brazil are generally unhappy with their workplace, citing a lack of work‐life balance and humane treatment (Aguiar do Monte, 2012). Displeasure leads to degraded employee satisfaction which contributes to lower levels of productivity and higher rates of turnover (Aguiar do Monte, 2012).…”

Over the last 25 years, the BRICs asserted themselves as drivers of globalization. But what does their new‐found prominence mean for working conditions at home? Using a novel sub‐national database covering outward investment linkages and working conditions in Brazilian municipalities, this study tests whether a direct investment in Europe leads to the introduction of decent working conditions in Brazil. The empirical results provide strong support for the investing‐up effect using a mixture of panel data analysis and text analysis. The results suggest that economic integration with high‐standard developed countries can act as a powerful mechanism for labor standard improvements in developing countries.
