ABSTRACT

Employees are the main assets of the organization and it is important that their tasks are prioritized at the workplace if the organization is to get maximum benefit from them. Organizations on the other hand try to extract the best out of each employee and to make them deliver their best.  The main objective of the study was to establish the influence of functional flexibility on employee turnover in SMEs in Kenya. The study focused on 4,560 SMEs in Nairobi and its selected environs namely Ruiru, Athi River and Limuru. Data were obtained through questionnaires with closed and open-ended questions. Multiple regression model and Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) was used to analyze the date. The study found that functional flexibility influences employee turnover in Small and Medium sized Enterprises in Kenya (SMEs) in Kenya. The study recommended that for an efficient and competitive economy, management needs flexible employees able to "switch gears" and respond to new forms of production.
