Abstract
Employee attrition is a major concern for manufacturing industries as
it affects productivity, organizational performance, and profitability. High
employee turnover results in increased recruitment and training costs, loss of
experienced workers, and disruptions in production processes. Kolhapur District
is one of the important industrial regions in Maharashtra, with a strong
presence of engineering, foundry, textile, sugar, and automobile component
manufacturing units. This study aims to identify the major causes of employee
attrition in manufacturing industries in Kolhapur District and examine its
impact on organizational performance. The study is based on both primary and
secondary data. Primary data were collected through questionnaires and
interviews with employees, while secondary data were obtained from journals,
books, and industry reports. The findings reveal that low salary, limited
career growth opportunities, job stress, and better employment prospects
elsewhere are the primary reasons for employee attrition. The study suggests
that organizations should focus on employee engagement, competitive
compensation, career development programs, and improved working conditions to
reduce attrition and enhance employee retention.
