Abstract

In global markets of high-tech industry, faced fierce competition, enterprises are devoted to following the pace accelerating the speed of technological advancement. R&D capability has been in a dominant position. Therefore, how to retain talents with the required R&D skills and knowledge becomes the focus for management, which is also the subject of the current research. Based on the fit and person-in-situation theory, this study investigated the effect of each variable on retention tendency to propose a more comprehensive fit research framework. Taking the semiconductor manufacturing industry in Taiwan as the research population, we conduct the survey through questionnaires sampling R&D personnel in 15 manufacturers. A total of 300 questionnaires were sent out, with the matched samples were valid for a response rate of 72%. To all R&D personnel, the findings of this study indicate that: 1. Person-organization fit is positively related to retention tendency. 2. Person-group fit is positively related to retention tendency. 3. Person-job fit is positively related to retention tendency. 4. Person-supervisor fit is positively related to retention tendency. 5. Under the R&D personnel’s multidimensional fits, the person- organization, person-job and person-supervisor fits have significantly positive effects on the retention tendency, but person-group fit has no significant effect. Thus, we proposed some practical management implications based on our findings.
