The Impact of Socially Responsible HRM Practices on Intention to Stay. A Comparative Study Between Public and Private Healthcare Sector in Lebanon

Abstract

This paper investigates the influence of Socially Responsible Human Resource Management (SRHRM) practices on nurses' intention to stay in Lebanon. It fo-cuses on the impact of selected practices, including training, performance evalua-tion, compensation, work-family balance, and occupational health and safety. Survey data was collected from 389 nurses from public and private sector hospi-tals. Structural equation modeling was used for analysis. The findings reveal that sector type has no effect on the impact of SRHRM practices on nurses’ intention to stay in Lebanese healthcare. At the academic level, it provides supplementary literature for the under-researched sector in Lebanon. It might thus open up addi-tional research opportunities that aim to broaden the perspective of the topic. At the practical level, the findings offer hospitals the tool to be competitive in retain-ing nurses in both public and private sectors. It is also expected to aid policy-makers and HR practitioners in placing measures for better retention of nurses in both the public and the private sectors. The study presents Limitations and future research to enhance understanding and implementation of SRHRM practices in healthcare. It might be considered among the first studies to investigate the men-tioned topic. Keywords: SRHRM practices, Intention to Stay, Public Healthcare Sector, Pri-vate Healthcare Sector Training, Performance Evaluation, Compensation, Work-Family Balance, Occupational Health and Safety.
