Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of leadership appreciation expression, labour climate and family support rate on employee retention intention. In the context of socio-economic development and rapid development of science and technology information, the issue of employee retention has received more and more attention from enterprises. The departure of core employees causes large losses to enterprises, especially after the epidemic, the innovation of enterprise management mode is particularly important. This paper constructs a theoretical model and analyses the relationship between the above three factors and employee retention intention through literature research and survey method. The study found that there is a significant positive correlation between leaders' expression of gratitude, labour climate and family support and employees' intention to stay in the job. This suggests that leaders' expressions of appreciation can enhance employees' organizational commitment and increase retention intentions; positive labour climate and family support can enhance employees' job satisfaction and increase the likelihood of retention. This study suggests that companies should emphasise leadership training, strengthen data governance and ethical codes, redesign employee development paths, and formulate forward-looking laws and policies. Through these measures, employees' work experience can be enhanced and loyalty to the organization can be strengthened, thus enhancing employee retention intentions and achieving long-term stable development of the enterprise. The findings of this study have important theoretical and practical implications for human resource management practice, providing organisations with strategies and recommendations to enhance employee retention intentions.
