Abstract

        The teachers' high-commitment human resource management (HCHRM) in private universities in China have many problems relating to HCHRM, which directly leads to the high turnover rate of teachers. Such rate is harmful to the healthy development of private higher education. The main purpose of this study is to discover the impact of each dimension of high-commitment human resource management on the turnover rate and the intermediary role of organizational commitment. This study collected 432 questionnaires. The results show that HCHRM in the dimension of selection allocation, incentive mechanism, participation, performance management, strategy-based human resource planning has significantly negative impact on turnover intention, while the effect of occupational safety is insignificant. Additionally, organizational commitment in the dimension of normative commitment, ideal commitment, economic commitment plays vital intermediary role in the impact of HCHRM on turnover intention, while the dimension of emotional commitment and opportunity commitment are insignificant. Based on those findings, this study proposes some policy suggestions for private universities to reduce the turnover rate.
