The report is organized as follows. It
starts with an analysis of the brain drain and its impact on
human capacity building. This provides a context for larger
issues pertaining to the loss of skilled professionals of
which academic staff loss is a sub-category. The discussion
helps to demonstrate the similarities in the forces driving
these phenomena, and hence the applicability of the
recommendations to other organizations, both public and
private. This is followed by a discussion of the global
problem of academic staff retention and its African
manifestations, as we explore the extent of the problem in
and its impact on, the continent. The next section reviews
the literature on employee retention in order to provide a
framework for analyzing the issue of retention in the case
study institutions. The report then provides an explanation
of the research methodology, findings and discussion, and
concludes with some recommendations, examples of good
practice, and closing remarks. |
