A questionnaire was used as the research instrument in which it consisted of six (6) sections covering the effect of professional development and training on employee retention, the impact of rewards system on skills retention, the association between job satisfaction and employee retention and the effect of the work environment on retaining employees.The study concluded that Health Company employees regarded training and development programs to be at the core of organizational activities and employee success. The findings also established that management was appropriately recognizing efforts and results of all the employees through various monetary and non monetary rewards. The research results showed a paramount importance of job satisfaction as the driver and catalyst for employee retention in the organization. The Pearson correlation analysis and regression analysis revealed that there is a high association between the implementation of effective skills retention strategies and curbing staff turnover for the organisation. In particular, management can look for congruence between the individual’s values and goals with those of the organisation to avoid employee turnover. Additionally, the organization should take into consideration factors such as promotion, salaries, working conditions and the nature of work in order to reduce employee turnover.","PeriodicalId":225616,"journal":{"name":"Kuwait Chapter of Arabian Journal of Business and Management Review","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123579052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, the insurance sector is becoming an important part of the financial sector in the world, and Kuwait is no exception. The aim of this study is to investigate the internal factors that mostly affect the profitability of insurance companies listed at the Kuwait stock exchange for the period spanning from 2010 to 2017.

A panel data collected from the financial statements of the seven companies listed at the stock market were used to examine the effect of the factors on the profitability of these companies. Using ordinary least squares (OLS) regression method, the results showed a statistically significant inverse relation between leverage and the age of the company with profitability while there was a statistically significant direct relation with tangibility and the size of the company. The results also showed that liquidity, growth, and management efficiency did not have a significant effect on the profitability of the insurance companies in Kuwait.","PeriodicalId":225616,"journal":{"name":"Kuwait Chapter of Arabian Journal of Business and Management Review","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115111724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
