Abstract The study titled “Performance Management Practices as a Driver of Work Engagement and Retention among Nurses and Paramedical Employees” investigates the influence of effective performance management systems on employee engagement and retention in hospitals located in Dindigul district. The healthcare sector faces major challenges related to staff dissatisfaction, low engagement, and high turnover, making strategic HR practices essential for improving performance and service quality. The study adopted a descriptive research design, and primary data were collected from 101 nurses and paramedical employees through a structured questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale. Respondents were selected using simple random sampling. Data reliability was confirmed through Cronbach’s alpha values of 0.809 for performance management practices and 0.909 for work engagement and retention. Statistical techniques including descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, ANOVA, and t-tests were used for data analysis. The findings revealed no significant differences in performance management practices or engagement and retention across demographic variables such as gender, age, qualification, job role, department, work experience, and type of hospital. However, a strong positive correlation (r = 0.802, p < 0.05) was found between performance management practices and work engagement and retention. The study concludes that fair evaluation, constructive feedback, recognition, and clear goal setting significantly enhance employee motivation and help retain skilled healthcare professionals.
