1 摘要 人员流动对任何组织的生产力都起着重要作用，在新员工的初始调整期间尤其重要。组织寻求制定减少流动率的策略来帮助解决这个问题，但这些策略需要了解影响员工保留和满意度的因素。这项研究的目的是确定管理者认为影响新聘航空航天工程师的保留和满意度的因素，以便管理者或雇主能够制定策略来减少该群体的人员流动。虽然已经对总体保留率和满意度进行了研究，但还没有专门针对航空航天工程领域及其新聘员工的研究。这些方面很重要，因为特定领域内可能会出现独特的因素。当前的研究使用定性研究方法来分析对新聘航空航天工程师的经验丰富的经理的七次半结构化访谈。对这些访谈进行了分析，以找出管理者认为影响保留率和满意度的关键因素。这项研究确定了保留因素的六个主题：当地和国家的经济趋势、每个新员工独特的个人因素、分配给新员工的工作质量、工作团队的社会环境、为员工提供的福利以及新员工的角色及其如何适应工作团队。这项研究还确定了满意度因素的六个主题：分配给新员工的工作质量、管理风格和行动、一般工作环境、福利、与导师的契合度以及对航空航天业的期望。
1 Abstract Turnover plays a significant role in the productivity of any organization and is especially vital within the initial adjustment period of new hires. Organizations seek to develop strategies to reduce turnover to help solve this issue, but these strategies require knowledge of what influences the retention and satisfaction of the employees. The objective of this research is to identify the factors that managers perceive to affect the retention and the satisfaction of newly hired aerospace engineers so that managers or employers can create strategies to reduce turnover within this group. While research has been conducted on general retention and satisfaction, no research has been specific to the aerospace engineering field and its newly hired employees. These aspects are important because unique factors can arise within specific fields. The current study used qualitative research methods to analyze seven semi-structured interviews with experienced managers of newly hired aerospace engineers. These interviews were analyzed to find key factors that managers consider to affect retention and satisfaction. This research identified six themes for retention factors: local and national economic trends, personal factors unique to each newcomer, the quality of work assigned to the newcomer, the social environment of the workgroup, benefits offered to employees, and the newcomer’s role and how it fits in with the workgroup. This study also identified six themes for satisfaction factors: the quality of work assigned to the newcomer, management styles and actions, general work environment, benefits, fit with a mentor, and expectations for the aerospace industry.
