Area of the Study This study attempts to identify the factors which affect the turnover intention of non-executive level employees by applying Herzberg's Two Factor Theory of Motivation. Especially this study aims to identify whether the hygiene factors or motivational factors affect employee's intention to leave most. Problem of the Study Since employees are the most critical resource in any organization prevailing in the business world, retaining the employees is a crucial factor for the success of an origination. In order to retain employees, identifying factors which affect turnover intentions of employees is paramount important. The researchers could identify that there is a high employee turnover ratio in shop floor level employees in Sri Lanka. Hence, the research problem addressed in this study is to identify whether the hygiene factors or motivators affect the turnover intentions of non-executive level employee most. Method of the Study The data were collected from a convenient sample of 100 non-executives in selected super markets in Colombo, Sri Lanka using a structured questionnaire which consisted of 44 question statements in total, including 34 statements of five point Likert Scale. To validate the questions, a pilot research was carried out using 10 random shop floor level employees before undertaking the full scale research. Findings of the Study This study found that motivation is negatively correlated with turnover intention of the employees. Moreover, main two dimensions of motivation; hygiene factors and motivators found to be negatively correlated with turnover intention of the employees. In this instance, hygiene factors found to be more affective for the turnover intention than motivators. Conclusion of the Study It is concluded that there is a strong negative relationship between motivation and turnover intention of the employees. Further this study found that hygiene factors are more affective for the turnover intention than motivators. And it is concluded that most of the employees are dissatisfied with the motivational factors (intrinsic motivation) in the supermarket sector. Thus, some good practices, procedures, methods and programs were recommended to enhance the job satisfaction of the employees to retain them and to get their maximum contribution for the sustainable success of the companies.

Purpose This paper aims to assess the impact of green supply chain management (GSCM) practices on the triple bottom line’s economic, social and environmental performance of Sri Lankan apparel manufacturers. Design/methodology/approach This quantitative study uses a deductive approach. The practice-based view is used to support the conceptual framework. The partial least square structural equation modelling technique empirically assessed the conceptual model using 164 responses from Sri Lankan apparel manufacturers through a structured survey questionnaire. Apart from examining the direct effects of GSCM practice on the triple bottom line, the study also investigated the moderating effects of firm size and duration. Findings The results show that GSCM practices positively affect the organisation’s triple bottom line while business size and duration moderate the said relationship. Research limitations/implications The fact that this study is based on Sri Lankan apparel producers may impact the generalizability of the findings across different industries and countries. Furthermore, the survey only looked at export manufacturers. This raises questions about the results’ relevance to other non-export groups of the current population with distinct characteristics. Practical implications The paper provides insights for both academia and practitioners on the importance of adopting GSCM practices for the business performance of apparel manufacturers in Sri Lanka. The paper includes implications for devising strategic solutions for organisational performance and sustainability by using GSCM practices in apparel manufacturers in Sri Lanka. Originality/value The research contributes to the body of knowledge in the GSCM field in general. This research also contributes to the limited literature on GSCM practices in Sri Lanka. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first attempt to explain how apparel manufacturers in Sri Lanka are organised.
