| Summary: | For years, it has already become prevalent for many public accounting firms to experience a high turnover rate among their employees. Thus, it becomes essential that further studies be made on this area.
For this study, the researchers aimed mainly at providing additional knowledge about the turnover rates of CPA graduates from De La Salle University- Manila, beginning from A.Y. 2004 up to the present. Consequently, two general objectives were set: First was to identify the causes that CPA respondents perceived to be their main reasons for leaving. The second was aimed at determining which among gender, work department, and work tenure had significant influence over the three factors set in the study, namely Job Dissatisfaction, Organizational Commitment, and External Opportunities.
Data were gathered by using total enumeration, and by distributing online survey instruments. The data was subjected to both descriptive and causal analysis. The results showed that out of the three factors, only Organizational Commitment appeared to have been significantly influenced particularly by gender and work tenure. The study revealed that males were thrice as more likely to have low organizational commitment than women. On the other hand, an inverse relationship was established between work tenure and low organizational commitment. |
