Tendai Douglas Svotwa, Freddie P Mupambireyi and Samuel M Gumbe
Abstract:
The success of an organization is heavily dependent on its ability to retain its key staff. However, this is becoming increasingly difficult because of labour mobility brought about by globalization. Globalization has afforded employees the opportunity to compare working conditions and remuneration packages across labour markets thereby triggering the migration of labour from less attractive markets to more competitive markets. Developing countries' labour markets have borne the brunt of brain drain to the attractive markets, Zimbabwe in general, and state universities in particular were not spared. However, the University of Zimbabwe (UZ) fared better in retaining its staff compared to other state universities. Against this backdrop, this study sought to investigate what the UZ did better than the other state universities to retain higher levels of staff.
