Many theories of Human Resource Management state that when workforce is given a particular level of motivation and incentives, it will result in increasing the possibilities of an organization to attract and retain their key workforce. Although Tanzania government has embarked on several reforms to motivate their workforce, there is still a general perception that public sector workforce, especially those working in the remote areas, are not willing to stay and work in particular areas. The main objective of this research was to assess the critical types of motivation and incentives packages used to attract and keep the most valuable employees in public sector, especially in the remote areas. The Case of this research is the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism. Purpose of statement: The purpose of this study was to explore and analyze how best the Tanzania government in general and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism in particular, can attract and retain key employees to stay and work in the public sector, especially in remote areas. The study intends to establish the procedures in which the government can apply to attract and retain employees in remote areas. Research method: The study used both qualitative and quantitive methods. The study compared theories and empirical findings. The intention of investigating and using the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism as a case study is to make the information from the research relevant to the Ministry and the interest in establishing how workforce attraction and retention management works in practice. The researcher used questionnaires; observations, interviews and documentary review. | en_US |
