6. Implication & Discussion
Using objective variable (turnover rates) instead of subjective variables and self response such as job satisfaction or turnover intention
Invest more in Family friendly Policies to avoid turnover
Discussion
Turnover can be affected by other variables such as pay, vision, support for diversity , self-development, leadership, teamwork and organizational culture
limited in applying to the entire sphere (state and local government agencies)
The analysis approach is suggested for further research to determine which category contributes the greatest extent on the impact on turnover rates
