The Impact of Perceived Organizational Politics and Job Security on Turnover Intentions among Workers of the Electricity Company of Ghana

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of perceived organizational politics (POP) and job security (JS) on turnover intentions (TI). The study also investigated how demographic variables like age, gender and job tenure also predict turnover intentions. Employees of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) served as the population for this study. Data was collected through the distribution of personally administered questionnaires to the respondents who were chosen by convenience non-probability sampling procedure. A total of 276 (93%) answered questionnaires were returned and used in the final analysis. The findings in this research were determined by using correlations and regression analyses. The results of the study indicated a significant positive relationship between POP and TI. There was a significant negative relationship between JS and TI. Age was significantly negatively related to TI but gender did not predict TI. Job tenure had a significant negative relationship with TI. The implications of the findings of this study are that to reduce turnover intentions, there is the need to ensure high level of job security and low level of organizational politics. For future research, some of the recommendations made in this study can be further explored to enhance and add value to this research area.
