HR Practices and Employee Retention
Several studies have highlighted the importance of HR
practices in influencing employee retention outcomes. For
instance, Boselie, Dietz, and Boon (2005) conducted a
meta-analysis of HRM and performance research and found
that HR practices, such as training and development,
compensation and benefits, and performance management,
are positively associated with employee retention.
Similarly, a study by Guest (2011) emphasized the
significance of HR practices in enhancing employee well-
being, job satisfaction, and commitment, which, in turn,
contribute to higher retention rates.
Recruitment and selection practices play a crucial role in
attracting and retaining top talent. Research by Barber,
Wesson, Roberson, and Taylor (1999) indicated that
organizations with effective recruitment and selection
processes are more likely to retain employees who fit well
with the organizational culture and possess the necessary
skills. Moreover, providing opportunities for career
development and growth has been found to positively
impact employee retention (Inkson, Kramar, & Müllenbach,
2019). These practices signal a long-term investment in
employees, fostering their commitment to the organization.
Training and development initiatives are also essential for
employee retention. Research by Mabey, Salaman, and
Storey (1998) highlighted the role of training and
development programs in enhancing employee skills, job
satisfaction, and organizational commitment. By investing
in employee growth and offering opportunities for
continuous learning, organizations can create a supportive
and engaging work environment that encourages employees
to stay.
Performance management systems that provide regular
feedback, recognition, and opportunities for skill utilization
have been found to positively impact employee retention
(Arthur, 2012). Studies by Delery and Doty (1996) and
Huselid (1995) indicated that effective performance
management practices enhance employee satisfaction,
engagement, and commitment, leading to reduced turnover
rates.
Compensation and benefits practices are crucial factors in
employee retention. Research by Milkovich and Wigdor
(1991) emphasized the significance of fair and competitive
compensation structures in attracting and retaining
employees. Incentive programs, non-monetary benefits, and
work-life balance initiatives have also been linked to
increased employee retention (Allen, Shore, & Griffeth,
2003; Maslyn & Uhl-Bien, 2001).

Table 1 presents the regression analysis results for
examining the relationship between HR practices and
employee retention. The predictors in the regression model
are the different HR practices, and the outcome variable is
employee retention.
The results indicate that several HR practices have a
significant positive effect on employee retention. HR
Practice 1 (B = 0.239, β = 0.287, p = 0.001), HR Practice 2
(B = 0.168, β = 0.202, p = 0.006), HR Practice 3 (B = 0.115,
β = 0.171, p = 0.012), HR Practice 4 (B = 0.201, β = 0.259,
p = 0.008), HR Practice 5 (B = 0.094, β = 0.177, p = 0.012),
and HR Practice 6 (B = 0.130, β = 0.180, p = 0.021) all show
significant positive relationships with employee retention.
The coefficients (B) represent the change in the outcome
variable (employee retention) associated with a one-unit
increase in each HR practice, while the standardized
coefficients (β) indicate the strength of the relationship.
The constant term (B = 0.512, p < 0.001) represents the
expected value of the outcome variable when all HR
practices are at zero. The t-values indicate the significance
of the predictors, and the p-values determine whether the
relationship is statistically significant.
The overall model fit is indicated by the R-squared value
(0.506), which suggests that 50.6% of the variance in
employee retention can be explained by the included HR
practices. The Adjusted R-squared value (0.480) takes into
account the number of predictors and provides a more
conservative estimate of the model fit. The F-value (18.583)
is significant at p < 0.001, indicating that the regression
model as a whole is statistically significant.
These findings suggest that the HR practices included in the
model significantly contribute to explaining employee
retention. The results provide empirical evidence
supporting the positive impact of these HR practices on
employee retention within the tech industry.
