The study adopted a cross sectional survey. The study used a sample size of 141 of which only 104 respondents participated. It is also shown that the R square is .557 which is an indication that 55.7% of the changes that do occur in employee turnover is due to changes in human resource management practices. The test also revealed that Nkumba University’s HRMP have a positive relationship with employee turnover and as such the null hypothesis was rejected. It was concluded that human resource management practices are a common source affecting employee turnover. Reward management practices are considered to be a significant aspect in motivating teachers, improving their performance and enhancing their relationship with the top management. The study suggested that the university should use different recruitment practices such in direct recruitment when hiring its employees.
