Abstract
This study is on Employee Turnover in Post Secondary Institutions of Benue State. The aim has been to find out the rate and causes of the academic staff turnover in the higher institutions of the State, and then compare which institution has a higher rate of turnover. The objectives to be achieved with such findings was to suggest ways that can minimise labour turnover in the higher institutions and promote better job performance to enhance good quality education. Two colleges were selected - College of Education, KatsinaAla and College of Agriculture, Yandev. The data for the study was obtained through three different sets of questionnaire and oral interviews. Findings from the study show that there was no serious problem as to a high labour turnover since all separations were generally taken care of by a corresponding replacement. College of Education, Katsina-Ala scored 15.21% rate of turnover higher than College of Agriculture, Yandev with 12.42% for the 10 years studies. What is observed therefore is a situation of staff instability and under establishment; whereby the colleges are under staffed, the few that are available are continuously on the more for new ones to replace them. This situation does not augur well for the institutions. The most important factors responsible for the instability have been identified to be poor conditions of service especially as it affects promotions, salary payments, fringe benefits and welfare services. The labour shortage and instability have adverse effects on the efficiency of the academic staff who suffer serious job overloading culminating into poor standards that are affecting the image of the institutions.
