This paper explores the holistic context of workforce retention. The global labour shortages in developed countries have made employers realise that in a world of scarce resources, employee wellbeing and retention are key factors in competitiveness. The aim of the research is to create a model to identify the key determinants of employee well-being and workforce retention. A quantitative research methodology was applied, using a questionnaire with 58 validated statements, completed online by the research participants (n = 406). The PLS-SEM method was used for data analysis and inner and outer modelling. The measurement model was tested for internal consistency reliability and convergent and discriminant validity. Cronbach’s α and CR values were above the 0.7 threshold for all constructions, indicating high internal consistency of measurements. In our model, there are a total of 36 significant relationships between latent variables. Based on the research results, the effect of organizational commitment on the intention to quit was determined. If the organizational commitment within an organization changes, the intention to resign changes. Thus, critical variables affecting workforce retention (benefits, promotion, communication, nature of work, coworkers, and normative commitment) have been identified, the changing of which will affect organizational commitment. The results support that if employees perceive these factors negatively, their commitment will drastically decrease.

A COVID-19 világjárvány gyökeresen átformálta a hagyományos emberierőforrás-menedzsment gyakorlatait. A változások hatására a vállalati stratégiákban felértékelődött az alkalmazottak fizikai és mentális jóllétének szerepe. A munkavállalói jóllét témakörének vizsgálata akadémiai szinten hosszú múltra tekint vissza, azonban a munkaerő-megtartás összefüggésében eddig kevés tanulmány látott napvilágot. A témakör gyakorlati jelentősége megkérdőjelezhetetlen. A szerzők tanulmányukban szisztematikus irodalmi feldolgozás útján vizsgálták a témakör nemzetközi irodalmát. Kutatásuk során arra kerestek választ, melyek azok a munkavállalói jólléti tényezők, amelyekre vállalati szintű munkaerő-megtartási stratégia építhető. Az eredmények felhívják a figyelmet a témakör további vizsgálatának szükségességére, amit alátámaszt a kutatási kérdéssel szorosan összeegyeztethető találatok alacsony száma, valamint a témakör komplex megközelítésének hiánya.

There has been an increase in debate over universal basic income in recent years, mostly related to the different welfare measures introduced in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic around the world, and because of the increasing relevance of labor market automation. In this study, our objective is to evaluate the attitudes of Hungarian citizens towards basic income, with a focus on its feasibility, as well as positive and negative effects. In order to accomplish this, we analyzed relevant international literature to draw up a questionnaire from studies, while also looking at background variables that potentially influence an individual’s attitude towards basic income. Results show that Hungarian citizens rather disagree about the feasibility of a basic income scheme in Hungary but they are a lot more agreeable with the EU-s capability to provide one (18.4% compared to 52%, respectively. Regarding its possible positive impacts, the most frequently mentioned items include reducing anxiety about financing basic needs, helping people return to education, and offsetting the effects of automation, while concerns about the idea of not being researched and tested enough, its effects on inflation, and its possible work-discouraging nature were listed as the most relevant negative effects.
