| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the effects of learning and development practices on employment retention within the context of Mika Eco Resort Hotel. In recent years, employee retention has become a critical challenge for organizations, particularly in the hospitality industry. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationship between learning and development practices and employee retention, identify specific practices that significantly contribute to retention, and propose strategies for optimizing learning initiatives to enhance employee retention. To achieve these objectives, a mixed-methods research approach was adopted, involving both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. A sample of 62 employees from Mika Eco Resort Hotel participated in the study, providing valuable insights through questionnaires and interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed using correlation and regression analysis to test the hypotheses, while the qualitative data underwent thematic analysis to identify impactful learning practices. The findings revealed a strong positive correlation between the implementation of effective learning and development practices and employee retention. Specific practices such as personalized career development plans, ongoing performance feedback, and mentorship programs were identified as significant contributors to employee retention. Based on the research outcomes, evidence-based strategies were formulated for organizations to optimize their learning initiatives and foster a culture of continuous growth, ultimately leading to improved employee retention rates. This dissertation contributes to the existing literature on human resource management and provides practical implications for organizations seeking to enhance employee retention through targeted learning and development practices. The research outcomes serve as a valuable resource for Mika Eco Resort Hotel and other hospitality establishments to strengthen their employee retention strategies and create a more engaged and committed workforce. | |
