Organisations throughout China are faced with the challenge of retaining and motivating staff through a range of human resource activities. This study tested literature on retention with a survey of 400 technical and management staff in two state-owned construction organizations in China. Four HRD-related factors were found to be positively related to retention and two of these factors, opportunities for learning and development and fair treatment, uniquely contributed to retention.
