Abstract:

Universities rely heavily on the knowledge and experience of their employees. Retained staff hold valuable information about the university’s history, traditions, and best practices. The study aimed to examine the performance evaluation, incentive mechanism and talent management among Chinese universities as basis in developing an Innovative employee retention Framework. A descriptive approach was used in this study to systematically define the conditions, and assess the variables that were examined. The research respondents are 400 employees of five universities and colleges in China. A survey questionnaire was used for data collection which was subsequently analyzed using the SPSS software. Based on the finding of the study1. The respondents showed a moderate level of agreement on the performance evaluation as to teaching performance, research results and technology literacy. The Chinese universities manifest good incentive mechanism as to economic incentive, social recognition and career development as moderately agreed by the respondents. The respondents moderately agreed on the talent management in terms of talent recruitment, talent development, and career succession. Highly significant relationships exist between performance evaluation, incentive mechanisms, and talent management. An innovative employee retention framework for universities and colleges in China was developed that can create a powerful system to attract and retain top talent, motivate faculty and staff to excel and foster a positive and productive work environment and enhance the overall quality of education and research.
