Sažetak
In a competitive marketplace, retention of talented and younger
employees is a challenge for organizations. Thus, it becomes
important for organizations to execute employees’ development
strategies to retain Generation Y employees. The goal of this
research is to analyze the effect of talent management (TM) practices
i.e. mentoring, strategic leadership, social media, and knowledge
sharing on the intention to stay of generation Y employees
and strengthening this relationship by investigating the mediating
role of competency development. A total of 372 employees of
generation Y participated in the study. The data were analyzed
through the PLS-SEM model using smartPLS-3 software. Findings
reveal that TM practices: mentoring, strategic leadership, social
media positively affect the intention to stay of generation Y
employees, while knowledge sharing has no significant effect on
the intention to stay. Competency Development mediates the
relationship between strategic leadership, social media, knowledge
sharing and intention to stay. However, competency development
does not significantly mediate the relationship between
mentoring and intention to stay.
