“…The reality is that seafarers receive salaries higher than the national average wages of other occupations like teachers (Song et al, 2021). It has been confirmed to cause employees who are dissatisfied with their salaries to compare them to their previous job and display negative organizational behavior, such as turnover (Hung et al, 2018).…”

The study examined the relationship between the level of competence, employee retention, and attrition among 124 maritime instructors who have taught at selected maritime higher education institutions in Region IV-A with accredited maritime programs by the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation in the last five years.The adapted questionnaire underwent a reliability test to establish its usefulness. Data were collected through purposive sampling and analyzed using SPSS software with a descriptive research design and correlation analysis as part of a quantitative research method. The research confirmed that the level of competency of maritime instructors was very good in terms of subject knowledge/technical skills, communication skills, pedagogical skills, and soft skills. Most of maritime instructors had very good soft skills. Respondents agreed that work environment, work motivation, and training and development were factors that kept them from leaving, with training and development being the most important factors leading to retention. They disagreed on the factors leading to attrition, such as salary, organizational climate, growth, and responsibilities, and thought that organizational climate was the least important factor for them to leave. There was a significant relationship between competency level and employee retention between subject knowledge/technical skills and the work environment, as well as between communication skills and the work environment. In terms of the correlation between competency level and employee attrition, it was found that there was a statistically significant relationship between subject knowledge/technical skills and salary, as well as between pedagogical skills and growth and responsibilities. Finally, a strategic human resource development plan was developed to further enhance the human resource process of maritime higher education institutions.

“…In view of the fact that it's impractical for the flag state to provide living security for seafarers, we suggest that no matter where the seafarers are, the country to which the seafarers belong should provide them with normal living security, and when necessary, the labor provider country should provide help to the seafarers through embassies and consulates abroad. Finally, though the issue of seafarers being owed wages was already common pre-pandemic [31] , as the pandemic continues to affect the shipping industry, a large number of seafarers may have to face wage arrears for a long time. We believe this issue can also be solved by requiring the ship enterprise to provide financial guarantees in advance.…”

“…Though negative physiological influences are hard to detect, their impacts on human performance are considerable and make them the critical human factors leading to sleep quality and fatigue (Calhoun, 2006). Norwegian ships aimed to identify harmful risk factors to seafarer's health, and it was found that 46% of seafarer reported noise from engine as a serious risk factor leading to sleep problems (Song et al, 2021). Sleep insomnia deriving from constantly noise exposure contributes to annoyance, and the percentage of annoyance is the crucial health endpoints for health environmental assessment (de Kluizenaar et al, 2009).…”
