Abstract

In Guinea, the flight of brains continues to grow. While the government needs men skilled in the coming years to respond to the economic order needs, cultural, educational or remarkable those are already planning to do so in the future, and to track the progress of the country. The aim of this article is to identify the degree of acceptance of 264 Guineans people living outside the country. We used a statistical method to investigate a total of 12 factors in measuring the fight against the brain drain in Guinea. This investigation found eight essential parameters through some foreign people interviewed with a questionnaire. This questionnaire helps in ascertaining the level of acceptance to return in helping the country in areas such as security, economy, health, education, and other areas. The distribution and collection of the questionnaire was used, and the responses of 264 respondents’ cadres were recovered using sampling. The factors studied have a reliability coefficient of 0.944. The study showed that the return to the fold in the direction of helping the country move forward will be a positive contribution in achieving the objectives of acquiring people, maintaining retention, and decreasing the brain drain. This study recommends that the Guinean authorities should focus more on the development of the quality of studies and on the treatment of complaints and queries effectively and appropriately in decision feedback from managers. Also, they should involve them in all future strategies, and establish an ongoing communication with them using various communication channels in order to achieve their objectives.
