Abstract:
ABSTRACT
The purpose of the study was to ascertain the link among some selected human
resource practices and employee retention at the Lands Commission in Accra.
The study employed quantitative approach and explanatory research design.
Using questionnaires, quantitative data were collected from a sample size of 265
out of the population of 850. The quantitative data were analyzed using Pearson
product movement interaction and multiple linear regression. The study found
that career development positively influenced employee retention. Employee
retention was also found to be positively correlated with the selected human
resource practices i.e. training and development, compensation and employee
engagement. It was concluded that the selected human resource practices are
critical factors in keeping employees of the Commission with their employers
and these practices should therefore be taken seriously and the needed
investment made in them. It is suggested that further research should be
conducted to cover the other human resource management practices not covered
in this study to ascertain how they also influence employee retention at the
Lands Commission as the studied HRM functions are not practiced in isolation
