The Effect of Recruitment and Job Training on Employee Retention at PT Global Lighting Indonesia in West Jakarta

Abstract

This study examines the relationships between recruitment, job training, and employee retention at PT Global Lighting Indonesia in West Jakarta. A quantitative approach with an associative research design was employed. The study involved 60 employees selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS version 26, including simple and multiple linear regression and hypothesis testing. The results indicate that recruitment was positively and significantly associated with employee retention (B = 0.300, t = 4.729, p < 0.001), with the simple regression model explaining 27.8% of the variation in employee retention (R² = 0.278). Job training also showed a positive and significant association with employee retention (B = 0.250, t = 4.496, p < 0.001), with its simple regression model explaining 25.8% of the variation (R² = 0.258). In the multiple regression model, recruitment (B = 0.364, t = 8.047, p < 0.001) and job training (B = 0.306, t = 7.842, p < 0.001) were both positively and significantly associated with employee retention. Together, the two variables explained 65.3% of the variation in employee retention (R² = 0.653), and the overall model was statistically significant (F = 53.592, p < 0.001). These findings indicate that recruitment and job training are relevant factors associated with employee retention in the company studied.
