| description | This study examines the determinants of employee retention by comparing construction sector employees in two
different work locations, namely, site- and office-based. The questionnaire approach was used to collect data
from 269 employees working in the construction sector in Sarawak. The partial least square structural equation
modelling (PLS-SEM) and multi-group analysis (PLS-MGA) were utilised to analyse the data. The results showed
that all four constructs are positively related to employee retention in the complete sample set. Compensation and
work environment factors significantly affected employee retention in construction site-based employees while
only compensation was found to have an insignificant negative effect on office-based employee retention. The
PLS-MGA further confirmed the significant effect of compensation on employee retention in the construction
sector across different work locations. The findings suggest that effective human resource management strategies
could be enhanced by designing different policies that target construction sector employees in different work
locations. |
