dc.description.abstractThe study was conducted to determine the factors influencing the turnover of academic staff of Ahmadu Bello University Zaria between 1984 and 1994. Academic staff turnover at Ahmadu Bello University was found to be preponderantly of the voluntary type with some isolated instances of involuntary separation essentially involving termination of the appointments of staff in breach of regulations governing study fellowships, sabbaticals and other leaves. Turnover was also found to be disproportionately higher in arts - based than science - based disciplines with the notable exception of the faculty of medicine. Poor remuneration and lack of job satisfaction were found to be vital factors influencing the decision of academic staff to quit the university. Although, poor salaries and fringe benefits featured pre-eminently among the factors determining turnover, suggestions of improved remuneration were not found to be sufficient to entice many former academics back to the university. Generally, the decision of academics to quit the university was found to be attributable to an interplay of job-related and other factors culminating in wide spread feelings of being "short-changed" by the reward system. Improvements in monetary and non-monetary reward system as well as the physical work environment were widely considered apt to ehance the feeling of satisfaction among academics thus reducing turnover. The study recommends a number of measures and incentive packages to increase the retention of academic staff in our university.en_US
