Abstract

This study examined the effect of unethical recruitment practices on labour turnover. The study covered Nigerian Breweries (NB); Guinness Nigeria Plc and International Breweries Plc located in the South-West Nigeria. Using simple random sampling technique in selecting respondents among strategic line managers and full-time employees, a total of 113 line managers and 226 employees of firms were sampled. Primary data gathered through structured questionnaires were used. Data were analyzed using Generalized Linear Models (GLM). Results from the Generalized Linear Model (GLM) showed that there was a significant (p<0.005) associated between unethical recruitment practices and employee turnover. This led to the conclusion that employee turnover was associated with unethical recruitment practices. In view of this, the paper recommended that unethical recruitment practices should be avoided since it leads to employee turnover and lays foundation for organizational collapse.
