This study examines the impact of non-work factors on labour turnover among female
employees in Kebbi State Civil Service. The hypothesis of the study states that the
higher the perception of prevalence of certain non-work related factors, the earlier the
decision by female workers to disengage from the civil service. A questionnaire was
administered on 172 former female civil servants in Kebbi State. .
The major findings of the study are that non-work factors identified in the study are
statistically significant determinants of female labour turnover. Secondly, pressures
from the matrimonial homes are very strong, standing out as the strongest of all the
non-work factors responsible for female labour turnover.
The study recommends that high-quality public childcare should be provided at work
places and that the government should also look at ways of making work–environment
reflect the culture of the society.
