A Systematic Study On Job Embeddedness And Retention Of Faculty Members In Business Schools

Abstract

This study delves into the relationship between job embeddedness (JE) and the retention of Faculty members (FMs) in Business schools. While turnover poses challenges for educational institutions, little research has explored the connection between JE and faculty retention. The study employs a survey design with FMs from Business school as participants, utilizing the JE instrument and self-reported intent to stay. Results indicate a strong correlation between JE and faculty members' intention to stay, with age also playing a significant role. JE explains 24.6% of retention variance, emphasizing its predictive power. The study concludes that enhancing JE could contribute to improved faculty retention in Business Schools.
