Background: Attention to human resource management leads to more qualitative educational, research and medical services. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the retention of faculty members for whom the universities have invested an enormous sum of money for recruiting, employment and training.
Methods: Five medical science universities were purposefully chosen. Using data triangulation and semi-structured in-depth interviews, 25 faculty members were interviewed. Coding was done using ATLAS.ti software. Adhering to all standards and protocols, open, axial and selective coding were used. Following 5 stages of refining codes and designing the initial model, the reliability and validity of the model were measured.
Results: Using open and axial and selective coding, a model with 60 components in 12 categories and 3 dimensions was developed. Based on the findings of the content analysis, personal motivation was the most important reason for faculty members to stay and external work environment was the most important factor that influenced their intentions to leave their jobs/the country.
Conclusion: The findings of this study showed strategic planning with special attention to intra and extra-organizational motivating factors can enhance the retention of faculty members. |
