| Abstract | Labor turnover is one of the prime issues facing many organizations today. When
employees leave their organization, it means the organizations will lose their valuable
resources including skill, knowledge, money, time etc that have been invested in
employees. Thus, the establishment of employee retention strategies becomes a priority
task for human resource people.
Likewise, Economic Institute of Cambodia (EIC), one of the research institutes in
Cambodia, is also facing a problem of high employee turnover. Therefore, this issue was
taken into consideration and became a topic of this research study. The study intends to
illustrate what the reasons of turnover are and to investigate on human resource practices
that are helping organization to minimize employee turnover.
The findings reveal that unclear job responsibilities and workload are the main causes
of turnover which are followed by low compensation and leadership style. Therefore,
improving human resource practices can be a crucial factor to help organization keep a
good resource for its sustainable development.
