Employee attitudes towards work are detrimental to the level and quality of outcome. It is a common assumption that people discontinue work due to the fact they are dissatisfied with their jobs. It is an objective therefore to find out the validity of this assumption by assessing employees quitting intention. A subsequent article illustrated that call centre representatives play a significant role that shapes the customers’ perception of the organisation . Many financial services primarily focus on sustaining customer relationship hence call centre representatives service is vital as they are the first point of contact.

In seeking information and knowledge on these themes academic literature such as peer-reviewed journal articles and text books and secondary research sources will be used.

After gathering knowledge and sufficient evidence that key topics are widely researched, the researcher aims test to see if theory matches reality. This will be achieved through the empirical research.
