Abstract

An effective human resource management practices namely employee empowerment, training and development, appraisal system compensation are the main factor for the success of a firm on employee retention. In this study, we aim to study how employees regard importance of their empowerment, equity of compensation, job design through training and expectancy toward effective performance management on their retention. Quantitative data was collected using the non probability self administered questionnaire that consist of questions with 5-points Likert scales distributed to our samples of 278 individuals. By using a multiple regression analysis, it is found that a, training and development, appraisal system compensation are significant to employee retention except employee empowerment. Base on the results, training, compensation and appraisal is a fundamental consideration for University of Y lecturers¡¯ retention decision; while empowerment is less fundamental to lecturers¡¯ consideration as this can be attributed to the Asian culture characteristic of higher authority conformity.
