The research questions to be answered in this project are following here: 1. What factors lead to the employee turnover for a firm? 2. Is there any relationship between employee satisfaction and employee turnover? 3. How do firms get affected by higher employee turnover rate? 4. What the remedial measures a firm can take in order to mitigate the higher employee turnover rate? In order to answer the questions the researcher wants to go through different real life examples and current state of employee turnover in the fast food industry. Besides this, the researcher would like to estimate the whole scenario of McDonalds based on the sample data. 2. Contribution to knowledge Fast food industry is a high-turnover industry. Both the blue colour and while colour employees are prune to switch to different jobs. In 2013, The National Restaurant Association estimated an employee turnover rate of 75% (Sanburn, 2013) and employers spend an average of $500 to replace the lost staff according the report form “The Economist” (Thompson, 2015). In comparison with other industries, it is apparent that fast food industry is very prune to employee turnover, according to the Werner and DeSimone (2011). Every research needs to be conducted considering the contribution of the research to the academic and practical field, as claimed by Bell (2010). This research is going to the conducted in order to draw some insider information regarding the current condition of employee turnover in the fast food industry. By doing this research the researcher would like to know the reasons behind the high employee turnover rate in 2|Page the industry. Thus, the first and foremost beneficiary of the research is the researcher himself/ herself. By conducting the research an estimate of the overall industry can be made by the researcher. Hence, this research will benefit the overall fast food industry since the researcher will unveil the ways to reduce the high turnover rate. In the long run, the industry profitability will be increased by having clearer understanding about different issues regarding employee satisfaction and employee turnover. Research Philosophy Three most common research philosophies are positivism, post-positivism, and interpretivist, according to Yeung (2008). According to Bell (2010) in positivism research philosophy a researcher depends on quantifiable observations which lead to statistical analysis. This philosophy helps a researcher to be independent from the study and there are no provisions for human interests within the study. On contrary to positivism philosophy, Creswell (2009) claimed that, post-positivism philosophy considers itself as an amendment to positivism. Walliman (2010) stressed on the fact that post-positivism relies on numbers and also investigate the numbers for statistical reasoning. In case of interpretivist, Yeung (2008) claimed that a researcher ignores numbers and investigates phenomena in order to conduct the study and draw conclusions. In this research project, the researcher is going to follow the interpretivist philosophy whereby the researcher can imply measures to ignore the numbers and to investigate the phenomena. The researcher wants to conduct the research based on the qualitative data mostly and the interpretivist philosophy of research will help the researcher to deal with the qualitative data, according to Creswell (2009). At the same time, specific quantitative data will not be available in this research. This is the main reason behind the inability to use the other philosophies (Walliman, 2010). Research Paradigm According to Gray and Guppy (2007) epistemology research paradigm makes subjective judgments whereby the researcher creates own perceptions regarding the perception towards knowledge. In this case Creswell (2012) stressed that if the findings cannot be generalized by other researchers, in this case, the researcher makes subjective judgments. According to Gray and Guppy (2007) ontology 3|Page non-numeric data whereas in case of quantitative approach a researcher collects numeric data. In short, qualitative data are not quantifiable whereas quantitative data are easily quantifiable. Qualitative data can be collected by a researcher whereby the research scope is big compared to data collected using quantitative approach. Another research approach most researchers follow is the mixed pragmatism whereby both the qualitative and quantitative approaches are used. Data collected to conduct the researcher under this approach is both qualitative and quantitative. In this research project, the researcher wants to follow the qualitative research approach whereby unquantifiable data will be used. Since the qualitative data can be collected from a large field of study, the researcher wants to use all the available sources like books, journals, firm specific data from websites, direct conversations with the company personnel, etc. This research approach will help the researcher to collect the relevant and specific data and thus conduct the research accordingly. In conducting this research, the researcher may not find the sensitive information regarding the true employee turnover over 10 year period for McDonalds. Data collection method The research is going to be conducted on the understanding that employee turnover is affected by lots of factors and employee turnover negatively affects an organization and the employees. To conduct the research the researcher would like to focus on secondary data mostly. Since the collection of primary data from the employees of the particular firm may not be viable, the researcher would like to focus on secondary sources. Collection of data from reliable secondary sources will help the researcher to have a clear understanding about the perception of the employees regarding their job satisfaction and reasons behind the switching from one job to another, according to Creswell (2009). The secondary data will be collected by focusing on reliable sources mostly. In this case, the researcher would like to collect relevant data from different publications like books, articles from different journals, particular website of the firm, financial statements of the firm, etc. These sources can play a great role in determine the success of the research since the effective and efficient method of data collection can add value to the research according Gill and Johnson (2010). 5|Page In this research the researcher would like to collect data for last 10 years. Hence, the sample size of the research is 10. Sampling method to the used in time of collecting data is convenient sampling whereby the past data will be collected based on the convenience of the research. In this sampling method the researcher will collect data from different sources which are really related with the research (Kumar, 2013). This sampling method will help the researcher to get authentic data regarding the benefits and amenities offered by McDonalds and other firms in the retail industry to their employees (Gray and Guppy, 2007). Trustworthiness and access to the proper data are two issues in this research which the researcher wants to focus most. In time of collecting secondary data the researcher must have to be very cautious in order to avoid any biasness of the authors (Walliman, 2010). For instance, the researcher will try to avoid any blogs or other unreliable sources in time of collecting data so that the data are authentic and trustworthy. The researcher would not be able to collect data from the employees in a direct way since the access to the data may be limited. That is why the researcher is mostly focused on collecting secondary data (Bell, 2010). Timeframe of the research Timescale of a research helps a researcher to conduct the research within the specified time, according to Creswell (2012). The researcher would like to follow the following timescale for each activity. The research is expected to be completed within 8 weeks of time.

This studies targets to apprehend the reasons of worker turnover and retention techniques in a business enterprise. Key studies findings suggest that personnel have numerous motives to go away their workplaces, including activity strain, activity pride, activity security, motivation, wages, and rewards. Furthermore, worker turnover has a large effect on a business enterprise because of the prices related to worker turnover and may negatively affect the productiveness, sustainability, competitiveness, and profitability of a business enterprise. However, the business enterprise need to apprehend the wishes of its personnel, with the intention to assist agencies, undertake positive techniques to enhance worker overall performance and decrease turnover. Thus, imposing techniques will growth activity pride, motivation and the productiveness of people and agencies that may lessen employment issues, absenteeism, and worker turnover. In a HR setting, turnover or work turnover is the rate at which a business gains and loses representatives. Basic method for portraying it are "the way lengthy workers will generally remain" or "the pace of traffic through the rotating entryway." Turnover is estimated for individual organizations and for their industry all in all. Assuming a business is said to have a high turnover comparative with its rivals, it implies that representatives of that organization have a more limited typical residency than those of different organizations in a similar industry. High turnover might be hurtful to an organization's efficiency in the event that gifted labourers are much of the time leaving and the specialist populace contains a high level of fledgling labourers. Unreasonable turnover can be an expensive issue, one with a significant effect on efficiency. One firm had a turnover pace of over 120% each year. It cost the organization $1.5 million a year in lost efficiency, expanded preparing time, expanded worker determination time, lost work productivity, and other roundabout expenses. Yet, cost isn't the main explanation turnover is significant. Extended preparing times, hindered plans, extra time, botches, and not having educated representatives set up are a portion of the disappointments related with over the top turnover. Turnover rates normal around 16% each year for all organizations, yet 21% each year for IT companies.54 Computer organizations normal higher turnover on the grounds that their representatives have numerous potential chances to change occupations in a "hot" industry. Many investigations show that organizations with low turnover rates are very representative situated. Representative situated associations request info and contribution from all workers and keep a valid "open-entryway" strategy. Workers are given open doors for progression and are not obsessively hovered over. Workers accept they have a voice and are perceived for their commitment.

In total 26 staff both women and men who resigned 2016 and 2017 was selected for interview. Quantitative data was used. Three main steps were done including research questionnaires and material development, sampling technique and criteria and data analysis and reporting. There were four main parts: the degree of staff satisfaction of each of the variables (1 to 12), the correlation between each of variable (1 to 12) with overall satisfaction, the causes of staff resign of the variable (13-27) and the correlation between each of the staff resign causes (variable 13 to 27). All those data have been transformed into non-parameter with the Spearmen Rho. MVi staff members were appreciated working with MVi. The satisfaction of each variable were that the staff scored high for most factors like staff leave, communication with colleagues, staff capacity development opportunities and roles and responsibilities. Former staff who worked in 2016 and 2017 was most appreciated with the factors above. Three factors which scored by respondents were very low in comparison with other factors. Those are work overload, job security and salary. All those factors were located between score 3 (neutral and score 4 (satisfied). Among 12 satisfaction variables, three of them were most significantly positively related to staff motivation.
