dc.description.abstractEmployee turnover had been identified to be one of the most expensive and difficult workforce challenge facing the construction industry and its project delivery operations due to human capital cost. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effects of employee turnover on construction project operations. A total of eighty-three (83) questionnaires were distributed to a total population of ninety- three (93) Medium Tax Compliance Building and Civil Engineering Construction Firms in Abuja, Nigeria as obtained from Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) December 2016 Tax year. Seventy five (75) were returned, checked and found suitable for the study. The questionnaires were distributed using purposive non-random sampling method and snowball sampling method to identify the respondent from the total population of Abuja construction firms on a likert type scale of 1-5. The responses were analysed using Relative Importance Index to determine the predictive power of the factors considered. The study identified employees as brain box of an organisation and their turnover may lead to lost organisational corporate memory thereby leading to the organisation being vulnerable in many fronts. Employee turnover disrupts and negatively affects the performance of the project team, the project operations, and potentially negates the competitive advantage of organisations in which it occurs. The study concluded that high turnover rates typically mean companies are doing a poor job selecting the right employee(s), failing to provide a motivating work environment or losing out to employers that offer better pay and benefits. The study therefore recommended that employers should create a workplace culture that support high performers financially, intellectually and psychologically while at the same time efficiently and fairly weed out poor performers.
