Abstract

This study examined the role of compensation packages in retaining teachers in higher
education institutions in Uttar Pradesh. The main objective was to understand the existing
compensation practices, evaluate their impact on teacher retention, and identify the
compensation factors that encourage teachers to continue working in their institutions. A
descriptive research design was adopted, and primary data were collected from 300 teachers
using a structured questionnaire. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, reliability
testing, normality testing, t-test, ANOVA, correlation, and regression analysis. The findings
revealed that most respondents were experienced and well-qualified teachers who were
generally satisfied with the compensation provided by their institutions. Salary, incentives,
allowances, medical benefits, and retirement benefits were found to be the key factors
influencing teacher retention. The statistical results also confirmed a significant positive
relationship between compensation packages and teacher retention, with competitive salary
having the strongest impact. The study concludes that fair and attractive compensation
practices improve teacher satisfaction, strengthen employee retention, and support the long
term growth and stability of higher education institutions.
