| Summary: | <p>The main objective of this study is to examine the effect of perceived organisational</p><p>support (POS), perceived co-worker support (PCWS), and job embeddedness (JE) on</p><p>employee retention (ER) in Malaysian private universities. The respondents are fulltime</p><p>academic staff working at Malaysian private universities. The stratified sampling</p><p>technique was used to collect data for this study. The results of the pre-testing and pilot</p><p>study are satisfactory. All data had been analysed using the Statistical Package for the</p><p>Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 16 and Partial Least Squares Structural</p><p>Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The findings of this study indicated that the total and</p><p>direct effects of POS on ER are significant (p < 0.05). It can be concluded that JE</p><p>partially mediates the relationship between POS and ER. However, there is no direct</p><p>relationship between PCWS and ER. ER cannot be increased by providing high PCWS</p><p>directly. It should go through JE as a mediator. This study, which further assesses the</p><p>mediating role of JE by using PLS-SEM, has added to the limited body of literature on</p><p>ER. It also provided fresh insight for HR practitioners from private universities in</p><p>Malaysia to determine the most useful technique on how to retain academic staff even</p><p>when an opportunity arises by emphasising JE.</p> |
