dc.description.abstract | The workplace movement, staff attrition and retention of professionals are a worldwide happening which affects both developing and developed countries differently. Focus of most literatures on workplace movement of professionals was however on brain drain (country to country movement) with less emphasis on rate of movement of professionals within the same country over a period of time. In a bid to practise the profession, the Estate-Surveying-Professionals (ESPs) may result to changes of workplace due to a given factor and on interval basis end up moving from one firm to another or to other industries and establishment at differing rates and patterns. This study therefore seeks to explore and identify factors that lead to change of workplace among ESPs in Nigeria. An in-depth survey interview was conducted on the 152 affected Estate Surveying Professionals in Nigeria based on the differences between the 7th and 8th (most current) editions of the directory of members and registered firms of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV) through telephony. The findings indicated that the type of change of workplace is mostly an internal movement among Estate-Surveying-Firms(ESFs) and that most of the geographical change of workplace are within the same urban area characterized by desire to operate self/jointly established Estate Surveying Firm. The change of workplace among ESPs is still mostly intra profession type (brain exchange) and not inter profession one (brain drain). Although, the work concluded that the change of workplace does not constitute a threat of extinction to the profession of Estate Surveying in Nigeria, it is recommended that NIESV should constantly study the rate and pattern of change of workplace amongst its members for effective monitoring towards sustainable estate surveying practice in Nigeria. Furthermore, as a complement to this work, NIESV should endeavour to ascertain the exit type of 333 members listed in its 7th edition, but missing in its 8th edition as a further monitoring of change of workplace among its members. Finally, as already did by other professionals, NIESV should make available the updated list of its registered members for capturing by the National Bureau of Statistics of Nigeria, as part of vital national statistics of the country. | en_US |
