Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN HUMANITIES - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
The study investigated the role of motivation in employee retention using Christian Service University College (CSUC) as the study area. The study adopted quantitative survey and randomly sampled 108 staff of CSUC. The findings indicated the institution currently operate relatively ‘enviable’ motivational schemes including salary, commuting allowance, free family medical care among others and its impact on employee motivation and retention is seemingly significant although with regard to non financial motivation, management has not pay much attention to it. The researcher therefore recommends that any retention strategy to be adopted by Christian Service University College should encompass both financial and non-financial elements of motivation in order to guarantee employee retention. The institution should work towards building better employee relationship; improving on the bonuses and allowances of staff and ensure equity and fairness. Finally, staff’s personal and professional development must be given priority to ensure quality delivery of service to improve retention.
