Abstract

This study examined the predictive relationship of labour turnover on organizational climate. The survey research method was adopted in this study. A sample of 6 SMEs was randomly selected from the three senatorial zones in Imo State. A sample of 30 top
management staff members was obtained by employing the purposive sampling technique. The data gathered was analyzed using one sample t-test. From the result obtained, the p-value (sig.2- tailed) produced 0.000 and 0.000 in the two hypotheses tested respectively. This implies that the t-calculated is lesser than t-tabulated (i.e 0.000<0.05). We therefore reject the null hypotheses, this suggests that labour turn over can be used as a suitable instrument to predict organizational climate of SMEs.
