Consequences of the recruitment and selection process on employee turnover & absenteeism: Profitability in the textile sector of Indonesia

This study aims to examine the impact of the recruitment and selection process on employee turnover and absenteeism. Recruitment and selection processes are examined on an organisation's performance with the mediating roles of employee absenteeism and turnover. The study has employed the SEM-PLS approach which is appropriate in cases of model complexity. Since there are four second order constructs and around 32 indicators involved in this study, the PLS-SEM is an appropriate technique to analyse the current data. In addition, the nature of the construct items is reflective and formative, which could not be appropriately handled by other software. Data has been collected from employees of textile sectors in Indonesia with a 76% response rate, which is sufficient and above the threshold level. Finally, the results of this study have provided support to the suggested hypotheses. The study is among the very first on this issue and will provide the basis of policy guidelines to future researchers, academics and policymakers.
