The objective of this article was to determine the influence of Human Resource Management practices (compensation and reward practices, performance evaluation practices and managerial leadership practices) on organisational commitment and retention of nurses in a South African public hospital setting. The sample was comprised of 150 nurses (females: 71%; age range: 21–30 years; mean years’ experience: 10 years; blacks: 95%). The participants completed instruments on compensation and reward practices, performance evaluation practices and managerial leadership practices, organisational commitment and job retention. Data was analysed through descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. Findings suggested that the effective use of compensation and reward practices, performance evaluation practices and managerial leadership practices as human resource practices reduces nurse turnover and improves employee organisational commitment
