Abstract

This article explores performance management strategies aimed at improving job satisfaction and employee retention within multinational companies (MNCs). In an increasingly competitive global market, MNCs face significant challenges in maintaining a satisfied and stable workforce. This study examines various performance management approaches, including goal-setting, continuous feedback, employee development programs, and recognition systems, and their effectiveness in enhancing job satisfaction and reducing turnover rates. Through a comprehensive literature review, the research highlights the critical role of tailored performance management strategies in addressing the diverse needs and expectations of employees in different cultural and geographical contexts. The findings suggest that when MNCs implement performance management systems that align with their organizational culture and employee values, they can significantly enhance job satisfaction, foster employee engagement, and reduce turnover. Additionally, the study emphasizes the importance of continuous communication, cultural sensitivity, and adaptability in the design and execution of performance management practices. By integrating these elements, MNCs can create a supportive work environment that promotes long-term employee retention and overall organizational success. The insights provided by this article offer valuable guidance for HR professionals and leaders in MNCs seeking to optimize their performance management strategies.
