THE IMPACT OF STAFF RECOGNITION ON STAFF RETENTION IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN IRBID/JORDAN: A SURVEY-BASED STUDY

Abstract

Staff retention is a critical concern for private schools in Jordan, yet research on the effectiveness of staff recognition programs in improving retention rates is limited. This study aims to address this gap by examining the impact of recognition on staff retention and job satisfaction in private schools in Irbid, Jordan. A survey-based approach was used to collect data from employees at private schools, and various statistical analyses were employed to examine the relationships between staff recognition, job satisfaction, and staff retention. Results indicate that staff recognition has a significant positive impact on both job satisfaction and staff retention rates. Furthermore, certain types of reward programs were found to be more effective than others in improving staff retention. These findings have important implications for private schools seeking to enhance their staff retention rates and improve overall organizational performance.
