Abstract

Education sector has been identified as a thrust area for growth of  the nation with faculty being the major constituent for the  dissemination of knowledge. Faculty and their retention have  become pertinent for institutions lest they lose them to competitors. 
The current study has been undertaken to identify the factors which affect retention of faculty. Ten factors were reduced to  three through exploratory factor analysis. Confirmatory  Factor Analysis (CFA) was employed to further confirm  that the three factors - Organizational Policies,  Innovative and Supportive Work Environment and  Career and Self Development affect faculty retention.  The study provides an insight to organizations regarding  the need to focus on faculty retention in the current  milieu.
