study on the State Audit Institution in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Overview and significance of the proposed study

The UAE is also one significant economic found in the hub of the Middle East. Notably, in the
recent years, it is developed rapidly into one dynamic and such global economy with the help of
the influx of some foreign ideas along with the practices that are facilitated by the growth of
technologies and internet. The impact of the human resource practices on the work environment
of state audit institution, Abu Dhabi and the employee retention are central to this study. The
State Audit Institution is an independent institution that was set up in the year 1976 for
investigating any such financial irregularities which are uncovered in the federal organizations.
The organizations that are audited belong to the ministries, the federal national councils and the
corporations where the country has some stake (Hassan, 2016). The increase of the globalization
has led to the enhancement of migration, the rise of the national and international labour, high
rates of the turnovers of staffs, the low retention levels and clash between the organizational
cultures in the entire workforce.
The processes of the global interlinking of all economies have been extremely accelerated
through the development of technology that has intensified the competition in the whole business
environment of today (Masri & Jaaron, 2017). There is further a recognition of increase in the
global trade which is quite facilitated through the technological advancement, the transportation
and the communication. In this type of the economic environment, employee retention has
become an significant aspect for the human resource managers along with the organizational

practices that leave impact on the organizational environment and the employee retention.

that are found in the studies of HRM regarding the retention of the employees. This specific
research actually differs from some other studies and develops a theoretical framework too and
the outcomes of the study are intended to improve the policies of UAE on the selection
processes, the staff recruitment and the organizational developments.
