Retention Of Drilling Supervisors: Hr Levers To Counter Competitive Mobility And Sustain Competitiveness

Authors : Belkassem Zerfa .

Abstract

This article contributes to the strategic reflection on the issue of human resource retention, considered here as a key lever for strengthening the competitiveness of companies operating in high-technical-intensity environments exposed to increasing competitive mobility. Based on a study conducted within the Drilling Division, it seeks to identify internal levers (managerial, organizational, and symbolic) that influence the intention to stay among key technical profiles. The analysis, grounded in a structured questionnaire and rigorous statistical tools, highlights the decisive influence of organizational climate, operational latitude, and recognition mechanisms. The findings also show that retaining these profiles directly contributes to preserving critical knowledge and reducing the risks associated with competitive mobility. The article thus offers a strategic perspective on retention as an active driver of sustainable performance.
