Research on the Relationship between Human Resource Management Practices and Employee Retention in Chinese Overseas Enterprise Evidence from Huawei in Senegal

Abstract

The core objective of this study was to investigate on the impact of selected human resource management practices, namely recruitment, and selection, training and development, performance evaluation, remuneration and promotion on employee retention through organizational commitment, trust and inclusion at Huawei in Senegal. For that purpose, data were collected by verified structured questionnaire. The different theories have shown that HRM practices have a positive and significant relationship with employee retention. Besides, there was evidence that found that organizational commitment could act as a mediator between these HRM practices and employee retention. Similarly, different theories and literature have backed up the fact that organizational trust and inclusion will affect positively and enhance employee commitment towards the organization. Data were collected to identify all types of relationships among different constructs. As a result, a well-structured questionnaire was developed on the basis valid and tested reliable instruments from different academic journals in the field of management. The hypotheses that were constructed on the basis of a model that was tested through collected data. This study is purely quantitative, and the source of data was both primary and secondary. Thus, about 400 questionnaires were distributed to different Huawei Company sections in Senegal, but only 318 were considered appropriate for final analysis. To get the expected results and finding, SPSS 20, Excel and AMOS 21 were the main statistical software used to analyze data. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was also performed to check reliability and validity, average variance extracted from the measurement model. Multilinear regression analysis has been used to test the proposed relationships between the independent and dependent variables. Then, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) has been used according to the perspective objectives of the current study. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to examine the correlation between different variables. Besides, the structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis was also used to find out the simultaneous and continuous relationship between the different variables, while linear regression modeling was applied to test the research hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed that selected human resource management (HRM) practices have a positive and significant relationship with employee retention.
