Employee Retention : Do Training and Development, Job Satisfaction and Job Performance Matter?

Employee retention is one of the key aspects of human resource management in corporations. The authors' purpose in developing this paper is to assess the relationship between training and development, employee performance, job satisfaction, and employee retention. The researcher employed a quantitative design with a sample size of 300 employees in Vietnam. The research method includes correction analysis and exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The findings confirm that there was a positive correlation between training and development and employee retention (r = 0.647**, p < 0.01), job satisfaction positively affects employee retention (r = .589**, p < 0.01) and job performance positively affect employee retention (r = .546**, p < 0.01). This study provides additional empirical evidence for employee retention research and could help Vietnamese organisations retain their employees
