Abstract:
Employee retention in universities and colleges is crucial for several reasons. It impacts the overall success of the institution, student learning, and staff morale. This paper takes private universities in China to discuss the influence of management style, corporate culture and employee performance on employee retention. Through combing relevant literature and field investigation, this study found that there was a significant positive correlation between management style and employee performance, and corporate culture and employee retention rate. This study constructs a framework based on employee retention, which emphasizes the importance of manager leadership and incentive mechanisms in improving employee performance and satisfaction, while also focusing on the impact of shaping and inheriting corporate culture on employee loyalty and sense of belonging. This study used quantitative research methods to examine the impact of management style, corporate culture, and employee performance on employee retention by distributing questionnaires to 536 employees and collecting and analyzing questionnaire data. The results show that management style, corporate culture and employee performance have significant effects on employee retention. This study provides theoretical basis and practical guidance for Chinese private universities to improve the staff retention rate. By applying the framework proposed by this study, private universities can better understand employee needs and develop targeted management strategies to improve employee performance and satisfaction and reduce employee turnover rate. Moreover, this study also provides a reference for the international development of private universities in China, and provides ideas and methods for cultivating leaders with international vision and management ability.
