ABSTRACT
This study examines the mediating role of job embeddedness in the relationship between talent management practices (TMPs) and turnover intention among healthcare professionals in Ethiopian public hospitals. Through qualitative interviews with 11 key informants, including hospital executives and human resource managers, the researchers explore how TMPs—such as employee selection, training, compensation, career development, and supervisory support—impact employees' job embeddedness and their intention to leave. The findings reveal that effective TMPs enhance job embeddedness through three dimensions: links, fit, and sacrifice, which collectively contribute to lower turnover intention. However, inconsistencies in TMP implementation across hospitals hinder their effectiveness, leading to dissatisfaction among staff. The study underscores the importance of job embeddedness as a mediator that enhances the effectiveness of TMPs in retaining skilled healthcare professionals. By addressing challenges related to resource allocation and policy enforcement, this research provides actionable insights for improving employee retention strategies in resource-constrained settings. Ultimately, these findings contribute to better healthcare service delivery and improved health outcomes in Ethiopia.
