Abstract

Every organisation has difficulties with its personnel; retaining talented individuals is a significant obstacle. In the present day, organisations make ongoing efforts to retain their staff, acknowledging their significance as crucial assets. Teachers play a vital role in attaining organisational objectives within the educational sector. The human resource department encounters the difficulty of maintaining talented personnel, an ongoing issue given the importance of employee retention. In order to tackle this issue, they continually strive to provide an attractive work environment within the highly competitive field of talent acquisition. This research used a systematic method with the help of SPSS and AMOS to identify the variables that influence staff retention in private senior secondary schools in Delhi-NCR. The second objective is to assess the impact of these elements and investigate how work satisfaction acts as a mediator in the link between the identified parameters and employee retention. By analysing the replies of 561 participants, we have found critical factors that influence career development, work satisfaction, salary, communication, and management style. The research of structural equation modelling demonstrates a considerable influence of career progression, contentment, and favourable work environment on retention. Correlation study highlights the interdependence of trust, company culture, and career chances. The results emphasise the significance of cultivating a favourable and satisfying work atmosphere to enhance the ability to keep employees in educational settings. This provides significant knowledge for organisational approaches to enhance the retention of teachers and staff.
