Auteurs : Haid Zahia . Naim Ilham .

Résumé

Keeping talented people has become a strategic challenge for companies operating in a mobile labour market. This study asks whether career management shapes employee motivation, taking General Electric’s Algerian operations as its case. A quantitative, descriptive survey was carried out in Algiers in April–May 2025 through a questionnaire administered to employees (60 valid responses out of 100 distributed), and the data were analysed with frequencies, percentages and 95% confidence intervals. The results are strikingly favourable: 96.7% of respondents judge the career management system effective, 95.0% are satisfied with their pay, 88.3% with their career and 86.7% with training, while 80.0% declare themselves motivated. Employees credit seminars and training more than seniority for their progress, and evaluation emerges as the weakest link (70.0%). The hypothesis that GE’s system retains its employees is supported.
