Abstract
Staff retention has become a complex issue facing many
contemporary organisations. The study examined the relationship
dynamics between employees’ psychological career meta-capacities
(measured by the Psychological Career Resources Inventory) and
their retention-related dispositions (measured by the Utrecht Work
Engagement Scale and the Organisation-related Commitment Scale).
A quantitative survey was conducted involving a non-probability
purposive sample of predominantly black females in the early life/
career stage, employed at managerial and staff levels (N = 318) in
the field of industrial and organisational psychology. A canonical
correlation analysis indicated a significant overall relationship
between the psychological career meta-capacities and the retention-
related dispositions. Structural equation modelling indicated a good
fit of the data with the canonical correlation-derived measurement
model. In the employment equity context, the findings provide
valuable pointers for the design of career development practices
aimed at retaining black females in the early career stage of their
lives.
