    Organizational Commitment and Turnover Intentions of Clinical Laboratory Scientists in Ghana
    (European Journal of Business and Management, 2015) Mensah, Robert; Kosi, Isaac
    High employee turnover rate coupled with frequent strike actions embarked on by clinical laboratory scientists in Ghana over the years has become a major issue that needs to be addressed. This study examined the different dimensions of organizational commitment (affective, continuance and normative commitment) as predictors of turnover intentions of medical laboratory scientists in selected health facilities in Ghana. The study consisted of 141 medical laboratory scientists drawn from various public health institutions. Two standardized instruments were used to measure organisational commitment and turnover intentions. Results of the study revealed that turnover intentions correlated insignificantly with affective commitment, but correlated significantly with continuance commitment and negatively with normative commitment. Further analysis revealed a linear positive relationship between the predictor variables combined (affective commitment, continuance commitment, normative commitment) and criterion variable (turnover intentions) among clinical laboratory scientists. Based on the findings, retention strategies of clinical laboratory scientists were proposed.

    (International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, 2015-05) Kosi, Isaac; Sulemana, Ibrahim; Boateng, Janet Serwah; Mensah, Robert
    The study investigated the influence of motivation and job satisfaction on teachers’ intention to quit teaching in public senior high schools in Tamale Metropolis, Ghana. Data were collected using self-reported questionnaire from 203 teachers in selected schools in Tamale Metropolis. Cross-sectional survey design was used with questionnaire as the main data collection instrument using a multi-stage sampling procedure. Regression analysis and descriptive statistical analysis were employed in discussion of the data. The results revealed that job satisfaction made the most significant but negative contribution to intention to quit. Motivation made the least but significant contribution to intention to quit. It is recommended that training and development programmes as well as offering of more extrinsic motivation variables by all stakeholders in the education sector is required to retain more teachers in public schools.
