MANAGEMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCE PRACTICES AND TURNOVER INTENTION OF PRIMARY SCHOOL STAFF: THE ROLE OF WORK ENVIRONMENT

This study looks at the relationship between primary school staff's intentions to leave and HRM practices, as well as the moderating effect of the work environment. 2,714 Higer institutions are selected to participate in the study using simple random sampling technique from the annual school census (2018–2019) conducted by State Universal Basic Education Board. Krejcie and Morgan tables were used for sample size determination, and 338 staff are served with questionnaires in Katsina State. The data are analysed using Smart-PLS software for Partial Lease Square Structural Equation Modelling. The findings show that pay policies, career opportunities, and promotions have a significant impact on employee turnover intention. Performance appraisals do not appear to have any bearing on employee turnover intentions. The results also showed that work environment significantly and positively affects employees' intentions to leave. The study's conclusion suggests that, in order to create a positive work environment, primary school administrators should think about developing and executing efficient HRM procedures as well as supporting more administrative work efficiency.
