Abstract
This study explores the relationships of organizational climate, leadership behavior, and work-life balance on employee retention among healthcare instructors. Employing a descriptive-correlational research design, the study was conducted in the Davao Region, Philippines, involving 295 healthcare instructors. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and Pearson product-moment correlation. The findings indicate that organizational climate, leadership behavior, and work-life balance have significant positive correlations with employee retention. These results underscore the importance of fostering a supportive organizational climate, implementing effective leadership practices, and promoting work-life balance to enhance employee retention. Strengthening these areas is vital for maintaining a stable and committed workforce in healthcare education.
