ENHANCING LEADERSHIP STRATEGIES FOR EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN LIBYA’S CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY SECTOR

Abstract

In response to the evolving dynamics within contemporary workplaces, talent management paradigms are compelled to adapt to accommodate the multifaceted needs of diverse generational cohorts. Mere presence and industriousness in the workforce are no longer deemed adequate benchmarks for organizational success. Instead, contemporary firms are tasked with prioritizing workforce sustainability, ensuring alignment with broader market demographics, and fostering environments conducive to the appreciation and integration of diverse perspectives, experiences, and competencies. Concurrently, there exists a pressing imperative to imbue employees with the confidence to engage in innovative thinking and perpetual pursuit of enhanced work methodologies. This study, underpinned by a thorough literature review, seeks to illuminate the intricacies surrounding leadership strategies and employee retention mechanisms within the aviation sector. Central to the findings is the imperative for employees to demonstrate exemplary performance, thereby underscoring the important role of performance management in the cultivation and preservation of top-tier talent within organizational settings. Consequently, the study engenders discourse on the selection and deployment of optimal leadership strategies and styles to underpin and invigorate performance management endeavors. In practical terms, the implementation of continuous performance management frameworks offers management cohorts the capacity to discern and evaluate individual contributions to overarching organizational objectives. Moreover, the study underscores the indispensability of perpetual goal-setting endeavors to foster organizational progression, complemented by periodic progress assessments and the provision of robust coaching and feedback mechanisms. Such holistic approaches to talent management are posited as indispensable in guiding employees towards the realization of their career aspirations and professional objectives. In summation, effective talent management practices within the aviation sector transcend conventional metrics of workforce engagement, emphasizing instead a strategic orientation towards sustainability, diversity, and a culture of perpetual innovation and refinement. Through the adoption of rigorous performance management frameworks and the provision of ample developmental opportunities and feedback mechanisms, organizations within the aviation domain can fortify their capacity to retain top-tier talent and navigate the complexities of the contemporary operational landscape with acumen and resilience.
