EFFECT OF PARTICIPATIVE DECISION MAKING ON EMPLOYEE INTENTION TO LEAVE AMONG TEACHERS IN PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN BUNGOMA SOUTH SUB COUNTY, KENYA
Abstract
This study investigated the effects of participative decision making on employee intention to leave among teachers in public secondary schools in Bungoma South sub-county, Kenya. The study adopted a descriptive survey design on a target population of 932. Stratified simple random sampling was used to sample teachers, heads of departments and the principals, while the purposive sampling technique was used to sample the educational officials. A sample size of 100 respondents was selected to participate in the study. The study used primary data with structured questionnaires adopted as the main instrument of collecting data. Data analysis was done using Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS). Collected data was cleaned and analyzed using both descriptive analysis and inferential statistics. Simple regression analysis was used to test for the research hypothesis. From the simple regression analysis, the regression coefficients indicated that participative decision-making had a statistically significant contribution in the prediction of employee job satisfaction. From the results of the study, the researcher concluded that participative decision-making had a significant influence on employee intentions to leave. The study recommended that the Teachers Service Commission should adopt participative decision-making as a mechanism of retaining teachers.
