| Abstract: | Employee retention has been a hot topic in Human Resources for a long time. This subject has been extended to the “millennials” as this group of young talents are becoming more dominant in the work force while not being easy to satisfy and retain. Millennials have been brought up differently than their previous generations. Therefore, retention of millennials has been challenging when traditional ways of compensation and remunerations are applied. I propose a Millennial Engagement Model, based on the Job Demands-Resources Model in an attempt to account for millennials’ job engagement and hence, their organizational commitment and intention to quit. Results from a 12-week study show that supervisory support and development opportunities are positively related to millennial’s job engagement. Furthermore, job engagement mediates the effects of these job resources positively on organizational commitment and negatively on intention to quit. At the end of the day, companies pour millions of dollars into improving employee job engagement and job retention. An important managerial implication will be whether companies have invested into the right drivers to keep their millennial workforce properly engaged. |
