This study is based on Abraham Maslows humanistic theory of needs, which holds that an individuals behavior at work is influenced by their needs at any given moment. When people work at a job that does not provide them with the necessary empowerment to fulfill their requirements, they will be forced to leave that job in search of one that does. To collect the data for this research, the researcher employed both qualitative and quantitative techniques. The study discovered that pupils academic performance is negatively impacted by labour turnover. The study also revealed that a lack of availability of qualified substitute teachers among educational institutions leads to a slowdown in students academic activities caused by labour turnover. This development has the ability to hinder students academic advancement. In order to encourage educators to work for the schools over a long time, the study suggests that teachers receive competitive pay. This will enable uninterrupted instruction and learning activities.\u0000KEYWORDS: Education, Students, School, Teachers, Salary, Labour, Turnover","PeriodicalId":211137,"journal":{"name":"EPRA International Journal of Environmental Economics, Commerce and Educational Management","volume":"4 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139452427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Organizations use performance management software that helps employee performance through key performance indicators, goal setting and performance reviews. It identifies the aids, issues, and effects of employing IT-based monitoring systems to identify employee lexical efficiency. Through the literature review, this study explores the technologies utilized in monitoring employee performance and outlines the research approach, encompassing case studies, surveys, interviews with HR professionals and employees. The result approaches that IT-based performance monitoring can steer organizational translucency, simplify input mechanisms along with concerns related to data privacy, employee morale, and potential ethical issues.

Creative venture initiatives in micro business involve innovative and imaginative approaches to starting or expanding small-scale businesses. It is the prevailing situation that only the giant business houses exploit the opportunities of globalization to a greater extent which caused concentration of money in the hands of few. In spite of the openings of various cells by the government India lag behind in developing strategies to go in for promotional activities in entrepreneurship especially to strengthen small scale enterprises. As a result many talented entrepreneurs find it very hard to transform themselves in to innovation practitioners. Execution of talent is discouraged due to the lack of integrated inclusion. A platform is to be created to make innovative/ creative small scale enterprises to go in for internationalization. Therefore innovative practices and its practitioners of small scale enterprises are to be recognized at the earliest.
