Abstract

Teacher attrition is a global crisis that uniquely manifests in the Philippine private education sector, where educators frequently migrate to public institutions or overseas for better compensation. This study investigated the influence of administrative support and workplace culture on teacher retention in private basic education institutions in Region IX (Zamboanga Peninsula). Utilizing a quantitative descriptive-correlational design, data were gathered from 489 faculty members through stratified random sampling. Standardized survey instruments, which demonstrated high reliability, were used for data collection. Findings revealed "High" levels of administrative support, a "Supportive" workplace culture, and "Low" attrition levels, Correlation analysis indicated that administrative support and workplace culture are significantly and positively linked to teacher retention. Multiple regression analysis further showed that these variables explain 60.2% of the variance in teacher retention, with "Administrative Assistance in Teaching Duties" emerging as the strongest predictor. The study concludes that while relational factors are vital, tangible assistance in instruction and discipline management is the primary driver of institutional stability.
