IMPACT OF PERCEIVED ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT ON EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATION, JEDDAH

Abstract

The employees are important assets to the organization; hence their contribution is paid off by the organization. If the employees are satisfied with the support received from the organization, they tend to stay longer and work for it. There have been studies that showed the relationship between the two variables namely perceived organizational support and employee retention. Many researches have been done but there is limited research in terms of education industry in the KSA. The aim of the research is to understand the impact of perceived organizational support (POS) on employee retention on the employee of Manarat School in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The methodology of this research is quantitative as a survey is presented to the employees in order to generalize the impact and understand the relationship. The results concluded that the relationship between the two terms is not significant as the employees even after receiving support from the organization are not willing to stay in for a long-term in the educational organization.
