Abstract: Employment efficiency can only be maximised if administrators of an organisation are willing to utilise productive human resources to transform their human capital. Perceived organisational support (POS) relates to the mutual beliefs of staff of an enterprise as to how the business values their interests and expectations for health. As workers are open to different challenges and possibilities, they continue to work meaningfully and benefit from their careers. Transformational leadership's (TL) impact on employee retention (ER) in education institutions in Uttarakhand, India, is investigated through the mediation effects of staff morale and the moderating influence of POS in the current investigation. The research has several significant consequences. Firstly, the correlation between ER and TL, and TL and POS are statistically relevant. Secondly, it is found that if successfully applied, TL may contribute to improved retention of workers and promote the retention of the institutions' best assets.

Keywords: employee retention; ER; transformational leadership; TL; employee motivation; EM; perceived organisational support; POS; human resource management.
