Strategies for Retaining Asian-Pacific Americans in the Technology Sector

摘要

Employee turnover is always costly, but especially so when high-performing managers in technology-based companies are concerned. Over and above the financial cost, indirect costs can also be high: loss of intellectual capital (that might flow to a competitor), loss of productivity, and negative effects on other organizational members. This survey focused on Asian-Pacific Americans in Fortune 200 aerospace companies, perceived as an underutilized managerial resource. Results showed that these managers placed the highest value on growth opportunities in their companies, salary and benefits, and strong leadership, and were more likely to "jump ship " when these were perceived as lacking.
