The Impact of Human Resource (HR) Analytics on Employee Retention: The Mediated Moderated Role of Employee Engagement and the Organisational Culture in Egypt

Abstract

The current study investigates HR analytics on employee retention within Egyptian firms through an examination of the mediating role of employee engagement and the moderating role of organizational culture. A quantitative inquiry methodology using survey data from human resource (HR) practitioners in various industries in Egypt was employed. The study used structural equation modeling to analyse the relationships between HR analytics, culture, and retention with mediation through engagement. Results of the study show that HR analytics indeed improves employee retention. Employee engagement emerges as a significant mediator. On the other hand, the moderating effect of organisational culture is not statistically significant. Such results lead to recommendations that combine HR analytics with engagement-based strategies for achieving more sustainable workforces. The paper is set up for strategic use by HR managers and business leaders whose mindful long-term commitments can be further cultivated through data-driven decisions.
