Abstract

High turnover can disrupt operations, reduce service quality, and increase recruitment and training costs. Therefore, appropriate managerial strategies are essential to improve retention and support optimal healthcare facility operations. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of career development, skills, and job evaluation on employee retention. This study aimed to examine the influence of career development, skills, and job evaluation on employee retention. A quantitative research approach was employed using a structured questionnaire distributed to 149 employees. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS. The results showed an F-test value of 0.000, meaning that career development, skills, and job evaluation together have a significant influence on employee retention. In addition, the T-test results obtained job evaluation (Sig. 0.000), skills (Sig. 0.000), and career development (Sig. 0.067). It was concluded that there was a significant influence of job evaluation and skills. Meanwhile, career development did not have a significant effect on employee retention. The study implies that hospital management should prioritize continuous training programs, competency enhancement initiatives, and objective performance evaluation systems to strengthen employee retention and maintain the quality and stability of healthcare services.
