The study intended to analyze and improve the employees’ recruitment and retention practices of the provincial universities in the northern midland and mountainous region of Vietnam Specifically, it sought to determine the recruitment practices of the provincial universities in terms of job analysis, sourcing, screening, and selection It also sought to determine the retention practices of the provincial universities in terms of growth opportunities, compensation, support, relationship, and culture and work environment Also,
it determined if there is a significant difference in the recruitment and retention practices of the provincial universities as assessed by the respondents when they are grouped according to their position In addition, it also pursued to identify problems encountered by the respondents on the recruitment and retention practices to propose an intervention program for recruitment and retention practices of the provincial universities The descriptive method was used through survey to a total of 390 respondents, composed of managers
Trang 14percentage distribution, weighted mean, Regression and the One – way ANOVA Based on the data gathered and analyzed, the findings indicated that the major difficulty of the existing recruitment practices of the provincial universities in the northern midland and mountainous region of Vietnam encountered is the lack of personnel's planning Furthermore, there are areas that need to be improved such as: job analysis, source of recruitment, researching on candidates’ background, creating justice and equal opportunities in recruitment and improving the quality of recruitment announcement It also indicated that the major difficulty of the existing retention practices of the provincial universities encountered is lack of development opportunities In addition to this, there are unsuitable compensation policy, untimely supports, and poor work environment The proposed solutions are to improve the quality of the recruitment practices generally by stating job description for each position, with clear requirements and criteria Also, expand and diversify recruitment sourcing In order to, improve the employee retention practices, it must ensure an average opportunity for candidates, and create a flexible working environment Thus, the success or failure ultimately depends on the attitude, awareness of the leaders and how they will address difficulties
