Career Development, Job Satisfaction, Employee Retention, Work-Life BalanceAbstract
High turnover in the manufacturing sector remains a major challenge for companies, including CV. Sido Hidup Makmur operating in a competitive industrial landscape. This study investigates the influence of career development on employee retention, with job satisfaction as a mediator and work-life balance as a moderator. A quantitative approach using SEM-PLS was applied to data collected from 68 employees. The findings reveal that career development significantly and positively impacts both job satisfaction and employee retention. Moreover, job satisfaction mediates the relationship between career development and retention, while work-life balance strengthens the effect of career development on job satisfaction. The R-square value of 0.683 indicates that the combination of these variables substantially explains employee retention. The study’s implications highlight the importance of providing clear career paths, supportive work environments, and policies that enable work-life balance, thereby increasing employee loyalty and reducing turnover in the long term.References
