This article presents a descriptive, non-experimental and transversal research under a quantitative approach, with the objective of identifying the level of Organizational Commitment (CO) that the education workers of a Higher Education Institution (IES) in the southeast of Mexico have, as well as the level of CO that register in each of its dimensions to detect those that require to be attended by the educational authorities. The data collection was carried out through a survey in which 140 employees participated, using the instrument proposed by Meyer, Allen, & Smith (1993), which generally presented a very good level of internal consistency (α = 0.83), determined through the Cronbach alpha coefficient. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, using the quartile analysis. The results show that workers have a level of CO that in general terms is low with a medium tendency, with the affective commitment being the one that is most present in the population. However, the normative commitment and the continuity commitment obtained the lowest levels, which requires strengthening through more stimulating remuneration and promotion systems for higher level education workers.

Abstract Qualitative exploratory and descriptive study with the aim of analyzing the communication of nursing students in the listening to patients in mental suffering admitted in a psychiatric hospital. The study was carried out from April to May 2013, with 23 nursing students regularly enrolled in a public higher education institution in the Southeast of Brazil. The data were collected based on artistic production and interviews, analyzed and categorized according to their thematic content. Proxemic nonverbal communication was unanimously indicated by the students based on personal-body position of face, neck, and, shoulders adopted in the listening to patients in mental suffering. The conscious use of proxemics favored clinical reasoning, improving interaction and listening in speech and thought disorders.

Talent Retention

Talent retention and employee turnover are major concerns for higher education institutions (HEIs) because they are losing highly qualified staff to the private sector and to other HEIs that are able to offer better rewards and benefits. The turnover of talented staff is therefore a major concern for the institution under investigation. The retention and voluntary turnover decisions among a workforce of 4 651 employees was thus investigated. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted by means of the objective analysis of organisational data in combination with the structured questionnaire (organisational climate survey). Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied to analyse the data across demographic groups, including age, employment category (academic as well as professional and support), etc. The results indicated that the institution’s turnover rate was acceptable (4.34%) and that dysfunctional turnover was marginal because employees with below-standard performance ratings had voluntarily resigned. Positive correlations and significant beta (b) values were reported between Organisational citizenship, Leadership, My manager and Compensation and the employees’ intent to stay in or to leave the organisation. These organisational climate factors were found to explain approximately 30 per cent of the variance in the employees’ intent to stay in or to leave the organisation. The article recommends that a talent retention tool be developed. In addition, it contributes to the literature on retention and turnover of high-performing employees, as it underscores the importance of measuring employee turnover
