Impact Of Job Design Factors on Retention of Non- Teaching Staff in Private Higher Education Institutions of Punjab

Abstract

This research study investigates the relationship between job design factors and employee retention among non-teaching staff in private higher education institutions in Punjab. The objective is to gain insights into how job design influences retention and identify specific factors that impact employee commitment and satisfaction. The research employs a quantitative approach, utilizing a questionnaire survey to collect data from 200 participants. Smart PLS4 (Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling - SEM) is used for statistical analysis. The findings indicate positive correlations between job design factors (task variety, task significance, autonomy, feedback, skill variety, and growth opportunities) and employee retention. Regression analysis reveals the significance of these factors in fostering higher retention rates. The study offers valuable implications for higher education institutions to develop effective retention strategies and create motivating work environments for non-teaching staff.
