Gestión del Talento Humano y su relación con la permanencia del personal en empresas de construcción en Guayaquil

Abstract

This research analyzes the influence of human talent management on employee retention within the construction sector in Guayaquil. The objective was to examine how recruitment, selection, training, compensation, labor relations, and organizational climate processes affect labor stability. Methodologically, a mixed approach was adopted, both qualitative and quantitative, utilizing a sample of 180 employees selected through convenience sampling. Data collection involved Likert-scale surveys and interviews with experts in human management. The findings demonstrate that strategic talent management drives organizational commitment, reduces turnover, and increases productivity. It was determined that factors such as formal contracts, regulatory compliance, remuneration, and physical working conditions are decisive in the collaborators' decision to remain with the company. Furthermore, it was identified that deficient recruitment processes deteriorate organizational perception. In conclusion, optimizing human talent management constitutes a sustainable competitive advantage for the construction sector, enabling greater job security, reduced operating costs, and more robust business development within the Guayaquil context.
