Corporate culture This study is focusing on the relationship between High Performance Work Practices and the turnover intention among the employees in the Small and Medium Enterprises in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Being the second largest state in Malaysia it is inconceivable in knowing the numbers of SME establishments in Sabah are low in comparison to the other smaller states which generate higher establishment figures. In spite of the continuous effort by the Malaysian government in promoting numerous SME activities in the country, there has been yet a hidden struggle for these SME organizations to retain their employees. Based on previous studies, there are nine practices which are known to be applied in majority of SME organizations, namely compensation, performance appraisal, salary, training and development, job security, job enrichment, voice, employee engagement and employee empowerment. Previous studies have shown that these nine practices are related in influencing an employee turnover intention. However, the findings for this study have shown that only Job Enrichment is not significantly related towards turnover intention. These findings provide a whole new dimension in the pattern of labor and industrial relations practices in Sabah’s SMEs particularly within the manufacturing sector. 2016 Thesis https://eprints.ums.edu.my/id/eprint/39400/ https://eprints.ums.edu.my/id/eprint/39400/1/24%20PAGES.pdf text en public https://eprints.ums.edu.my/id/eprint/39400/2/FULLTEXT.pdf text en validuser masters Universiti Malaysia Sabah Fakulti kemanusiaan Seni dan Warisan
