THE NEXUS BETWEEN TALENT RETENTION & ORGANIZATION PERFORMANCE THROUGH MEDIATING ROLE OF ORGANIZATION JUSTICE

Abstract

This study investigates the mediation effect of organizational justice on the relationship between talent retention & organizational performance amid teachers in the higher education institutions. A sample of 323 teachers was selected from a population of 1666 using a specified sampling formula. The mediation analysis followed three key steps. First, it was found that talent retention significantly predicts organizational justice with 70.9% variance. Second, the combined effect of talent retention and organizational justice on organizational performance was examined, revealing that these factors together explain 88.7% of variance in organizational performance. Finally, the direct effect of talent retention on the organizational performance was assessed, indicating that talent retention alone accounts for 83.3% of the change in organizational performance. In this regard, the analysis confirms that organizational justice significantly mediates the relationship between talent retention and organizational performance, highlighting importance of fair and just practices within institutions in order to enhance the overall performances. It is recommended that institutions are required to ensure fairness in all respect to retain talent and improve performance in higher institutions.
