Analysis of Staff Instability in Commercial Banks in Cap-Haïtien, 2021 to 2023

Summary: Licence thesis by Tamara Silien (Université Notre-Dame d'Haïti, October 2024) identifying the factors behind staff turnover in commercial banks in Cap-Haïtien from 2021 to 2023, based on semi-structured interviews with current and former bank employees.
Key Findings
Full Description

The thesis asks what determines staff instability in the commercial banks of Cap-Haïtien between 2021 and 2023. It reviews the work of three authors on the subject and interviews current and former bank employees by WhatsApp, selected by purposive sampling.

The author concludes that job dissatisfaction drives resignations: participants cite pay, recognition, job security, career advancement and a rigid hierarchy with weak support from management. She finds that the American humanitarian immigration programs and insecurity are not the main causes and are an opportunity for frustrated employees to leave, and that the basic cause is poor human resource management. The thesis recommends salary adjustments, benefits and rewards, evaluation and continuing training, and open communication between staff and management.
