C/HR/1138. Dissertation. Employee retention strategies at PriceWaterHouseCoopers

WORDS:
9850
DATE:
2011
PRICE:
99.99 GBP

This dissertation focuses on employee retention strategies, and examines PriceWaterHouseCoopers (PwC) UK. The study begins by detailing PwC’s vision, mission statement and background, and follows with an identification of the research hypothesis and rationale. The objectives are to review the theoretical implications of the literature, to generate a hypothetical derivative set of factors that would serve as the groundwork for the content analysis of the research data concerning the reasons for staying reported by employees, to identify the factors that influence employees’ decision to stay with the employer, and to identify the employee retention management strategies influencing the employees to stay with the employer. The literature review applies the Herzberg’s Motivation-Hygiene Theory, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, and the Self Determination Theory to the concept of employee retention. This section also discusses job motivation and satisfaction, the theory of organisational equilibrium, and the five dimensions model. All aspects of the chosen methodology are detailed, and the study then analyses the findings.
