FACTORS AFFECTING EMPLOYEES’RETENTION CIVIL AVIATION TRAINING CENTER

Abstract

This research aims to 1) Examine the levels of factors related to workplace happiness, organizational commitment, and employee retention among employees of the Civil Aviation Training Center; and 2) Investigate the factors influencing employee retention within the organization. The study employed a quantitative research approach. The sample group, selected through simple random sampling, consisted of 189 employees from the Civil Aviation Training Center. The research instrument was a five-point Likert scale questionnaire, administered online. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including percentage, mean, and standard deviation, as well as inferential statistics, including one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple regression analysis, conducted with a statistical software package. The research findings revealed that the levels of workplace happiness, organizational commitment, and employee retention were all high. These factors collectively predicted employee retention with a statistically significant coefficient of determination of 59% (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the analysis identified three statistically significant predictors of employee retention: organizational commitment (β = 0.39), job satisfaction (β = 0.31), and organizational structure (β = 0.21), all significant at the 0.05 level. The findings suggest that these factors can be utilized to inform human resource management strategies, fostering employee happiness and dedication, improving work efficiency, and enhancing organizational commitment.
