A Review of Methodological choices relating to Employee Turnover in Female Dominant Service Industries

Abstract

Studies on female employee turnover in service sector businesses published between 2012 and 2022 were subjected to a methodological evaluation. This review methodically chose 31 journal papers detailing employee turnover in female dominated industries. Articles were evaluated based on methodological decisions such as type of data and data sources, data collection method, sample techniques, overall research design, data analysis method, validity, and reliability. Researchers employed various methodological viewpoints to perform their studies, as evidenced by the review's findings. The majority of studies in the subject took a quantitative approach, and all studies describing employee turnover in female-dominated industries were field studies with a cross-sectional design. Primarily, grounded theory served as the foundation for qualitative studies in this field. There were significant methodological inadequacies that could be addressed in future research. Moreover, significant recommendations were made about the selected studies reliability and validity measures
