The Impact of Health Promotion Hospital Employees on Human Resource Management Policy Satisfaction and Retention

Abstract

World Health Organization (WHO) has encouraged health promotion in hospitals since the 1990s in Europe, integrating health promotion theories and strategies to improve the health of hospital staff, patients, family members, and community residents. Medical workers are regarded as having an important role in maintaining public health. The staff is not only the major manpower but also the key service provider of health care at the hospital, the purpose of this research is to explore the views of health promotion hospital employees on human resource management policy satisfaction and retention. Total 600 samples of staffs were selected from the certain hospital in northern Taiwan to answer the questionnaire. There're 481 replies effective in this investigation, that is, the percentage of collection is about 80.1%. The t-test and one-way ANOVA analysis of variance revealed that there was a statistically significant difference in variables such as gender, age, supervisor position, and family support (p<0.05). After controlling for demographic variables, multiple regression analysis was used to explore the impact of human resource management policies on employee retention, the significance level (α) was set at 0.05. The results show that the factors affecting retention include organizational identity, workload, salary incentives, peer support, supervisor leadership, learning and growth, work environment, and management system (F=8625.195, P<0.001), with a predictive power of 69.4%. Health promotion hospital staff satisfaction with human resource management policies can predict their retention, and the research results can provide a reference for hospital management policy revisions to encourage hospitals to build high-quality human capital and enhance their competitiveness.
