3. Predictive Model for Turnover

3.1 Logistic Refression

The predictive model for estimating the turnover at Golden Valley is done through performing Logistic Regression analysis.

Table 25: Logistic Regression Classification Table

The model correctly predicts the 819 non-leavers with 100% precision but incorrectly classifies any of the leavers, thus indicating precision of 0%. Therefore, the overall precision stands at 97.2%, which suggests that the model has precision in predicting non-leavers but failed to detect leavers.

Table 26: Omnibus Tests of Model Coefficients

The Chi-square value is 15.396 with p-value <0.001, which indicates the model is significant and the predictors, specifically Quantitative Demands and Cyberbullying, indeed explain meaningful variance related to employee turnover.

Table 27: Model Summary

The Cox & Snell R² = 0.018 and Nagelkerke R² = 0.079 suggest that the model accounts for only 1.8% to 7.9% of the explained variance in turnover. This implies that the model explains very little of the turnover, which requires additional predictors.

Table 28: Variables in the Equation

Cyberbullying is a strong predictor, B = -2.945, p = 0.001, with high cyberbullying reducing the chances of turnover, Exp(B) = 0.053. Quantitative demands, B = 0.657, p = 0.369, are not significant. It has little to say about the probability of the turnover.

4. Recommendations

Based on the analysis of gender disparities from Golden Valley, the following recommendations are being forwarded for equity promotion and improvement of workplace condition.

• Revenue Salary Disparities: The huge gap in salaries between males and females should be narrowed down in a fair and transparent pay audits and adjustment in equitable pay for equal work.
• Balancing Work with Life: Since no differences at significant levels were found concerning leave, it should still be acknowledged that, in comparison, higher-reported work-life conflict among female employees requires more family-friendly policies and the potential increase in length of parental leave.
• Improve Support from the Leader: There was no difference in quality of leadership found, though systematic training on issues of inclusivity can induce a better work environment for all genders.

5. Conclusion

Analysis shows that there remains a huge gender inequality in salary, work-life conflict, and incidents of negative acts at Golden Valley, even though equal leave policies and equal chances of promotion exist. Possible targeted interventions that may lead to a better and more balanced work environment include pay equalisation adjustments and secondary support systems.
