This study investigates key factors influencing teacher retention at Shandong Yingcai University, a private Chinese higher education institution. It examines the impact of six factors-Person-Organization Fit (POF), Supportive Work Environment (SWE), Job Satisfaction (JS), Job Embeddedness (JE), Job Security (JSE), and Work Condition(WC)-on Teacher Retention(TR).Multiple linear regression analysis of data from 228 full-time teachers revealed that all six variables significantly positively influence retention, with the model explaining 77.9% of the variance (R² = 0.779). Job Security (β = 0.433) and Supportive Work Environment (β = 0.41) had the strongest effects, followed by Job Satisfaction, Job Embeddedness, Work Condition, and Person-Organization Fit. A 14-week strategic intervention-including group mentoring, counseling, improved communication, professional development, and enhanced working conditions-was implemented. Post-intervention data showed significant improvements in all variables and retention. Paired sample t-tests confirmed statistically significant differences (p < .01) between pre- and post-test scores. The study concludes that a holistic strategy addressing organizational, psychological, and environmental factors is essential for improving teacher retention in private universities, offering valuable insights for administrators and policymakers.
