| description | This study aims to investigate components of Total Rewards that affect the employee
attraction, retention and engagement of nurses in Singapore. Singapore is facing a
shortage of healthcare workers and as such understanding which components have a
direct and significant impact on attraction, retention and engagement is crucial to
improving this shortage. In this study, we tested components like base pay levels, worklife
balance policies, employer branding, empowerment, job characteristics,
preceptorship culture, rewards and recognition to examine their impact on attraction,
retention and engagement of nurses in Singapore. Usable data came from over 100
respondents from 3 local hospitals. Results indicated that work-life balance policies and
level of employer branding do have significant impact on attraction whereas base pay
level does not have such impact. Out of our 12 formulated hypotheses, 9 were
statistically supported and the implications of these results were discussed.
Recommendations were made on how hospitals can utilize the components of Total
Rewards that have a significant impact on attraction, retention and engagement to
develop HR policies that can improve attraction, retention and engagement. The paper
concludes by noting the limitations faced and explores options for future research. |
