Employability attributes, organisational commitment and retention factors in the 21st century world of workGani, Khatoon 01 1900 (has links)
This research focuses on the relationship between employability attributes, organisational commitment and retention factors within the context of staff retention in the 21st century workplace. A cross-sectional quantitative research approach was followed, and a probability stratified sample (N = 311) of mainly black and female participants participated in the study. A canonical correlation analysis indicated a significant overall relationship between the employability attributes/organisational commitment canonical variate and the retention factor canonical variate. Inferential statistics revealed significant differences between ethnicity, gender, age, job category and qualification level regarding these variables. The study also confirmed a positive relationship between employability attributes, organisational commitment and retention factors. Recommendations are made for use by human resource professionals in terms of the retention of valuable staff. / Human Resource Management / M. Com. (Human Resources Management)

Retention factors and employee organisational commitment at a higher education institution in South AfricaMuleya, Dasy 18 September 2017 (has links)
MCOM / Department of Human Resource Management and Labour Relations / This study sought to determine the influence of retention factors on employee organisational
commitment at a higher education institution in South Africa. The study follows a quantitative
methodology in which self- administered questionnaires were used to collect data from a
stratified random sample of 274 participants. The strata were grouped as academic and nonacademic
staff. Participants were then randomly selected from each stratum. Using Statistical
Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23, both descriptive and inferential statistics
including correlation and regression analyses were conducted to determine relationships
between retention factors and employee organisational commitment variables. The Retention
Factor Scale was used to collect data on retention factors and Organisational Commitment
Questionnaire was used to collect data on employee organisational commitment. The findings
indicated that job characteristics, supervisor support, career development and work-life balance
are significantly related to employee organisational commitment. Furthermore, the results
revealed that of the six retention factors, career development was the most significant factor
which had an impact on employee organisational commitment. The study concludes that
retention factors and their impact may differ based on different institutions, therefore, it is
recommended that every institution should figure out the retention factors which have the most
impact on their employees and find ways to improve employee organisational commitment.

Employability attributes and career adaptability as predictors of staff satisfaction with retention factorsStoltz, Elleen 11 1900 (has links)
The objectives of the study were firstly to determine the relationship between employability
attributes (measured by the Employability Attributes Scale), career adaptability (measured by the Career-Adapt Abilities Scale) and retention factors (measured by the Retention Factor Scale), and, secondly, to determine whether employees from different age, gender, race, tenure and job level groups differ significantly in their levels of employability attributes, career adaptability and retention factors. A cross-sectional quantitative, correlational research design was followed. The non-probability sample consisted of 321 permanently employed salaried employees in a South African automotive manufacturing company. Descriptive statistics, correlations, structural equation modelling and regressions were used for data analysis. The data analysis revealed significant associations between the career metacompetencies and retention factors. In addition, significant differences were found between age, gender, race, tenure and job level groups. / Industrial & Organisational Psychology / M. Com. (Industrial and Organisational Psychology)

The moderating role of graduate skills and attributes in relation to the employability and retention of graduates in a retail organisationMulaudzi, Livhuwani Ronnie 06 1900 (has links)
The general aim of the study was to assess the relationship between the graduateness, employability and satisfaction with retention factors of individuals and whether graduateness moderates the relationship between employability and satisfaction. The study used a quantitative, cross-sectional research design on a purposive, non-probability sample (N = 100) of predominant black (93%), male (49%) and female (51%) trainees between the ages of 17-29 years (early career). Presenting/applying information skills significantly and negatively predicted compensation while ethical/responsible behaviour significantly and positively predicted satisfaction with job characteristics and organisational commitment. Graduateness related positively to self-perceived general employability. General employability did not significantly predict the participants’ satisfaction with retention factors. Graduate skills and attributes did not significantly moderate the relationship between self-perceived employability and satisfaction with retention factors. Males had significantly stronger perceptions of employability compared to females while females had higher levels of work–life balance satisfaction compared to males. Overall, the results suggest that general self-perceived employability is more a function of graduateness than of retention, while graduateness positively relates to retention factors. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.

The relationship between work ethics climate, retention factors and organisational commitment of nurses in a South African public hospital / Kamano magareng ga seemo sa maitshwaro ka mosomong, mabaka a go tswela pele le boikgafo bja baoki ka sepetleleng sa setshaba sa Afrika Borwa / Itjhebiswano eliphakathi kobujamo bemigomo yokusebenza, imithelela yokubamba abasebenzi kanye nokuzibophelela kwihlangano kwabahlengikazi besibhedlela sombuso eSewula AfrikaKau, Mahlamakiti Derisa 04 1900 (has links)
Abstracts in English, Southern Sotho and Xhosa / Previous studies evidenced the association between work ethics climate, retention factors and organisational commitment separately. However, research combining all these variables have not yet been done. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between work ethics climate, retention factors and organisational commitment of nurses in a South African public hospital. A quantitative research design was followed and a probability stratified sample (N=208) of nurses participated in the study. The results indicate significant relationships between work ethics climate and retention factors. Furthermore, the results indicate significant relationships between work ethics climate and organisational commitment. Moreover, the results indicate that work ethics climate moderates the relationship between training and development components of retention factors and organisational commitment. These findings provide new knowledge for the design of retention strategies, which adds value to the body of knowledge in relation to work ethics climate. Recommendations for further research and for the implementation of the results of the study by human resource professionals were made in terms of improving the ethical climate, the retention factors and organisational commitment of their employees. / Dinyakišišo tše di fetilego di file bohlatse bja kamano magareng ga seemo sa maitshwaro ka mošomong, mabaka a go tšwela pele le boikgafo ka fao go aroganego.

The relationship between organisational commitment, career adaptability and retention factors within the retail sector in the Western CapeJabaar, Rugshana 06 1900 (has links)
The objectives of the research were to examine the relationship between organizational commitment, career adaptability and retention factors within the retail sector in the Western Cape and to determine whether the demographical variables (age, gender, race, marital status,
tenure and job level) influence an employees’ decision to stay with or to leave the organisation.
A cross-sectional quantitative, correlational research approach was followed wherein a nonprobability convenience sampling (N=224) of permanent customer service employees of a reputable retail store in the Western Cape was used. The data were collected by means of
Organisational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ by Meyer & Allen, 1997), Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS by Savickas & Porfeli, 2012) and Retention Factor Measurement Scale (RFMS by Döckel, 2003). Correlational analysis revealded that statistical significant and positive relationships exist between organisational commitment, career adaptability and retention factors. A stepwise regression analysis indicated that organisational commitment and career adaptability significantly and positively predict retention factors. Tests for mean differences revealed that some differences do exists in organisational commitment, career adaptability and retention factors in terms of demographical variables (age, gender, race, marital status, tenure
and job level). Recommendations are suggested for use by human resource managers and practitioners in terms of retention strategies and practices, specifically within the retail sector / Human Resource Management / M. Com. (Human Resource Management)
