dc.description.abstractEmployees play a key role in achievement of organizations’ objectives and thus every organization endeavours to ensure employee retention. However as the organizations seek to do this they are faced with the challenge of low employees’ engagement and turnover intentions. Although it has been suggested that Human Resource Management (HRM) practices may affect employees’ engagement and turnover intentions, empirical evidence in Kenyan context is scanty. The study thus sought to investigate the mediating effect of employee engagement in the relationship between HRM practices and turnover intentions of teachers in public secondary schools in Murang’a county Kenya. The study was guided by the Social Exchange Theory (SET). The target population was 3752 Teachers Service Commission (TSC) teachers in 304 public secondary schools in Murang’a county Kenya. The study used multi stage random method to select a sample size of 400 teachers from 40 schools. A self-administered semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data. The quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics of binary logistic regression. The findings of the study indicated that employee engagement partially mediates the relationship between HRM Practices and turnover intentions of teachers in public secondary schools in Murang’a County Kenya. Policy implications of study findings have been discussed.en_US
