Winning talents is vital to get the competitive advantage in the era of economic globalization. The competence of winning talents depends not only on the ability of attracting talents, but also on the ability of retaining them. However, the research on retaining talents has not received enough attentions. Therefore, this study examined the relationships between the four aspects of regional HR environment (economic environment, living environment, cultural environment and human policy environment) and talents' intention to stay, on the basis of Weng and McElroy's (2010) suggestions; according to the theory of commitment, we constructed and tested the mediated model of regional commitment. The analysis results of 291 valid samples proved that: regional commitment has direct and significant impact on the talents' intention to stay, and mediates the relations between economic environment, living environment, cultural environment and talents' intention to stay respectively. This research indicated that when the basic needs of talents are satisfied by the regional environment, they commit highly to the region and are likely to stay in the local region.
