Then, the consequences, types, reasons and ways to reduce turnover were shown. After this, job satisfaction, outcomes and factors were listed too. This research also contribute by examining the hypothetical framework and the relations among the variables. After that, a questionnaire was developed using data gathering through a Google form (online questionnaire).
