A Bibliometric Analysis of Intention to Leave in TheManufacturing Industries

Introduction

A bibliometric analysis of intention to leave in themanufacturing industries. This bibliometric analysis investigates employee intention to leave in manufacturing industries, addressing operational stability & costs. Insights aid HR in developing retention policies.

Abstract

Intention to leave is a serious challenge faced by companies, especially in the manufacturing sector which demands high efficiency and sustained productivity. High levels of employee exit intentions can have a direct impact on operational stability, increased recruitment costs, and disruption of work team performance. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence employee quit intentions in the manufacturing industry. By using a qualitative approach, this research is expected to provide a deeper understanding of the dynamics, experiences and underlying causes behind the intention to leave. The findings of this study are expected to serve as a basis for consideration for human resource managers and practitioners in formulating effective retention policies and creating a work environment that supports workforce sustainability in the manufacturing sector.

Review

This submission addresses a highly pertinent and critical issue within the manufacturing sector: employee intention to leave. The abstract effectively highlights the significant operational and financial challenges posed by high turnover intentions, particularly in an industry that relies heavily on efficiency and sustained productivity. The stated aim to analyze factors influencing quit intentions and to provide a basis for effective retention policies is commendable, promising practical value for human resource managers and practitioners. The topic's relevance alone suggests a valuable contribution to the field of organizational behavior and human resource management in industrial settings. However, a fundamental inconsistency between the title and the abstract creates significant confusion regarding the study's actual methodology and scope. The title, "A Bibliometric Analysis of Intention to Leave in The Manufacturing Industries," clearly indicates a quantitative, systematic review approach that analyzes existing literature patterns. In stark contrast, the abstract explicitly states, "By using a qualitative approach, this research is expected to provide a deeper understanding of the dynamics, experiences and underlying causes behind the intention to leave." These two methodological descriptions are mutually exclusive as the primary research method for a single study. A bibliometric analysis examines published data, while a qualitative approach typically involves direct data collection from human subjects (e.g., interviews, focus groups) to explore lived experiences. This contradiction must be immediately resolved as it fundamentally misrepresents the research design. For the study to proceed with clarity and credibility, the authors must first reconcile this significant discrepancy. If the intention is genuinely qualitative, the title needs revision to reflect this, and the abstract should further detail the specific qualitative methods (e.g., interviews, case studies), target participants, and data analysis techniques. If it is indeed a bibliometric analysis, the abstract requires a complete rewrite to describe the quantitative analysis of publication data, keywords, authorship, and themes within the existing literature. Without this essential clarification, it is impossible to accurately assess the methodological rigor or the potential contribution of this research, despite the relevance of the chosen topic.
