The role of voluntary employee turnover (VET) in textile industry has significance in this era over the globe. Textile industry is labour intensive with similar to agriculture industry in Pakistan and it has excessive VET as compared to other industries.

Due to increasing voluntary employee turnover the additional expenses beard by textile mill owners such as recruitment cost, overtime cost and training cost etc. now the employer keen to cut cost and increase production efficiency. According to Pfeiffer (2005) ‘’voluntary employee turnover is most studied outcome in organizational research’’ under discussion study will rotates around core issue of different reasons or factors effecting intensions of employee to leave the job. To address this issue couple of relevant theories and models has been used in literature to ascertain the theoretical knowledge and industry practices to determine the said problem and its rectifications. Organizational equilibrium theory, met expectancy theory, linkage model of turnover, unfolding model of turnover and Embeddedness theory have been studied in this regard and comparative analysis has done on bases of data gathering from the industry.
