  A. INTRODUCTION

  Retail business can be understood as all activities involved in the sale of goods or services directly to final consumers for personal use and not business use Retail has a high challenge in the competition and have to changing environment. In this case, the assignment of Human Resource Management to follow these changes, to communicate and manage the changes that have a direct impact on the company.

  Human resource management provides a major contribution in improving company performance. Several years ago, for example, retail business have difficulties in filling certain positions, especially those in retail management Human Resource Management is very important in retail, that is the problem of strategy within the organizational structure, the approaches generally used to motivate and coordinate the activities of employees, as well as practical management to effectively work force and reduce employee turnover rate. Retailers generally use three methods to motivate employees activities, namely by (1) the policies employees, (2) incentives, (3) cultural organization. The main challenge in retail sales is to reduce the level out (turnover) of employees.

  High employee turnover will increase sales and reduce costs. Perceived job satisfaction can influence one's thoughts to come out. Evaluation to various alternative employment, it will eventually realize the turnover for the individuals who opt out the organization will expect elsewhere. Specific aspects relating to job satisfaction such as the salary related satisfaction, benefits, promotion, working conditions, supervision, organizational practices and relationships with colleagues.

  Another factors to consider is the motivation of its employees work. Motivation is the willingness to give more effort to achieve organizational goals, caused by the desire to satisfy individual needs Given the proper motivation of the employees will be encouraged to do as much as possible in carrying out their duties for believing that the success of the organization in achieving goals and objectives, personal interests of the members of the organization would be covered as well. With high motivation will create commitment to what is the responsibility in completing every job (McNeese-Smith et al,

  Another cause that the employee having desire to move is teir decreased level of organizational commitment. The study by Meyer et al., (1993) demonstrated that increased commitment is associated with increased productivity and lower turnover Commitment is one important aspect of the philosophy of human resources management (HRM). If job satisfaction reflect workers more response to work or some aspects of his work which activity level of job satisfaction, organizational commitment is the wider issue of affective responses reflecting a worker to the organization as a whole (DeMicco and Reid, 1988). The organizational commitment is important for the companies because it affects the turnover of employees.

  B. LITERATURE REVIEW

  2.1 Turnover Intentions

  Intention is the interest or desire arising in the Robbins (1996), explained that the withdrawal of a person out of an organization (turnover) can be decided voluntarily (voluntary turnover) and is not voluntary (involuntary turnover). Voluntary turnover or quit an employee's decision to leave the organization voluntarily caused by a factor of how attractive the current job, and the availability of other employment alternatives. In contrast, involuntary turnover or dismissal employer (employer) to stop the uncontrollable nature of employment and for employees who experience it (Shaw et al., 1998). Zeffane (1994) revealed several factors that influence the occurrence of turnover, including the external factors, namely labor market, and institutional factors (internal factors), the conditions of the study, co-workers, job skills, and supervision, personal characteristics of employees such as individual reactions to his work. Several studies having evaluated the role of turnover intentions, namely:

  1. Fishbein & Ajzein, (1975), and Ancok (1985), explained that the turnover problem itself as a concrete manifestation of turnover intentions that a person's intention to perform a certain behavior that may interfere with the effectiveness of the

  2. Fishbein (1967) and Newman (1974) explained that the turnover intentions showed behavioral intentions to stay or leave the organization is consistently associated with the transfer of jobs (turnover).

  3. Mobley, Horner and Hollingsworth (1978), turnover intentions (intention to move) among the employees have a strong correlation with the search and thinking of quit .

  4. Pasewark and Strawser (1996) explained that the turnover intentions refers to a person's intention to seek other employment alternatives and has not materialized in the form of real behavior.

  5. Mobley, Griffeth, Hand and Meglino (1979) argued that the turnover intentions

  Organizational commitment is defined as a situation in which one employee in favor of a particular organization with its objectives intend to maintain the membership in the organization (Blau and Boal, 1986; in Ardiansah et al., 2003). The research evidence conducted by Hom,

  Organizational commitment seems as a better predictor because it is a more global response and survive against the organization as a whole rather than job satisfaction (Porter et al., 1974. Other studies, the results by Bedian and Achilles (1981); Netemeyer et al.,

  (1990), Sager (1994); Johnson et al., (1990) who support for research, suggesting that the higher job satisfaction and organizational commitment is expected to lower the intent and purpose of the employees to leave the organization. Further more, employees dissatisfied with aspects of his job and no commitment to the organization would be looking for a job in another organization. As such, Grant et al., (2001) found a negative relationship between organizational commitment In the study by Meyer et

2.2. Organizational Commitment

  the organization's commitment to multi- dimensional than three- component model, namely:

  1. Affective commitment Affective commitment is an emotional approach to the individual involvement in the organization, so people will feel connected with the organization.

  Affective component deals with the emotional, the identification and involvement of employees within an organization. commitment of employees based on a strong affective commitment will continue to work with companies on their own interest, based on the level of identification with the company and their willingness to assist the organization in achieving the objectives (Hackett et

  al., 1994).

  2. Continuance Commitment continuance commitment (continuance commitment) is owned by the individual's desire to survive in the organization, need to be connected with the organization. This commitment is based on employee perceptions about the loss faced if they left the organization Employees with strong continuance commitments will continue their membership with the organization, because they need it. Luthans (2006) put forward a continuance commitment as a commitment by losses associated with the discharge of employees of the organization.

  Normative commitment is a feeling of obligation of individuals to survive in the organization. Normative commitment is employee's feelings of obligation that they gave to the organization, and the actions are the right things to do.

  2.3 Work Motivation

  Work motivation is a state of the human psyche and the mental attitude that energizes, directs, deliver, maintain, and continue the actions and behavior of (Tansuhaj, et al, 1998). Motivation can be defined as an integral part of industrial relations within the framework of the process of coaching, developing, and directing the human resources within an enterprise. Motivational factors measured by intrinsic factors such as the confidence to learn and grow, and the willingness to cooperate. Employees who have the confidence to learn and grow tend to be more motivated to work, as well as with the workers cooperate. Extrinsic factors such as the operations of an organization, use of equipment in the organization, and the group support as well as. The organizational operation that work well to make employees happy and motivated to work, as well as the easy use of equipment and not too complicated also affect motivation. Fuad Mas'ud(2004): 39) defined motivation as the drivers that there is a person to act. task and work well requires the motivation of every employee. Employees with highly motivated will be able to perform the job better, compared with those who do not have any motivation Everyone has something triggering (moving) either in the form of material needs, emotional, spiritual, and values or particular beliefs. Jae (2000) suggested that employee motivation was very effective to increase organizational commitment and employee performance by Burton et al. (2002) stated that the motivation of employees had a significant positive effect on commitment as measured by three dimensions of commitment, namely affective commitment, normative commitment and continuance commitment.

  2.4 Job Satisfaction

  Job satisfaction is a general attitude towards an individual aspects of the job (Robbins, 2006). Job satisfaction involves the reaction or attitude of cognitive, affective and evaluative emotions or positive emotions like those based on the person's work experience, including satisfaction with the leadership. Job satisfaction can be improved through attention and a good relationship of leadership to subordinates, so that employees will feel that he is an important part of the organization of work. The use of information and reinforcement to the wise, activity and control capability, and understanding of the paths that a variety of controls to performance and important in designing and implementing control-in- use is more effective (Challagalla and Shervani, 1996). McNeese-Smith (1996) shows the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment, job satisfaction in his research and organizational commitment is an independent variable as significant and positive effect on attitudes toward management of the company's strategy performance of employees The experts stated earlier in his research that when a man felt fulfilled all the needs and desires by the organization (satisfied), it will automatically be mindful of them tp increase the level of his existing commitment. This is in accordance with the opinion by Luthans (1995) and Ganzach (1998) which states that the positive variable to job satisfaction is the type of work itself, pay and salary, the chance for a promotion, your workers.

  Many studies find some negative relationships to job satisfaction employee turnover intentions. Tett & Meyer (1993) defines the one's higher level of job satisfaction, the lower the intensity to leave her job. In addition, the job satisfaction affects turnover. Those with lower work satisfaction feel easier to leave the company and look for opportunities in other companies. Another study presented by showed that job satisfaction and turnover intentions had a negative relationship. It supports research by Passewark and Strawser (1996) who found that job satisfaction and a moving desire have direct effects and negative relationships.
