dc.description.abstract This study examined the relationship between organisational climate and retention of tutors in Colleges of Education in Central Region of Ghana. A concurrent embedded mixed-methods and descriptive designs were adopted. A sample of 108 tutors, 3 Principals, and 3 Vice-Principals were used. The sample was selected through census, purposive, stratified, and simple random sampling. Semi-structured interview guide and questionnaire were used to gather data. The qualitative data were transcribed and reported verbatim. Besides, quantitative data were analysed using frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, Spearman correlation, Mann-Whitney U test, Cross-tabulation, and Chi-Square test. This study revealed that there was a fairly good organisational climate and statistically, there was no significant difference in perceptions of organisational climate regarding male and female tutors. However, statistically a strong positive relationship emanated from organisational climate and retention of tutors. Organisational climate helped to explain approximately 33 per cent of retention decisions of tutors. In addition, relationship among employees ranked first among the salient factors. Finally, it emerged that some demographic factors have statistically no significant influence on retention of tutors, for instance, gender, age, level of education and rank. The study concluded that positive organisational climate increases the retention of tutors. Thus, it was recommended that Principals of Colleges of Education and Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) should help improve a healthy (positive) organisational climate to retain tutors for a longer span of time and to minimise intention of tutors to quit Colleges of Education. en_US
