Diversity, Equality, Inclusion, Job Satisfaction, Employee RetentionAbstract
This study uses structural equation modeling (SEM) to investigate the relationship between employee retention, diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI), and work satisfaction. Data was collected from workers in a range of companies to determine how these organizational traits impact retention choices. Indexes such as RMSEA = 0.068, CMIN/DF = 1.838, and CFI = 0.911 confirmed the model's good overall fit and demonstrated that it accurately reflected the actual data. The results demonstrate that diversity and job satisfaction greatly increase employee retention, suggesting that friendly and rewarding workplaces encourage employees to stay. Conversely, equity showed a significantly negative impact, indicating that perceived unfairness may raise turnover. Inclusion has little direct effect on retention. These findings demonstrate how important it is to establish diverse and rewarding work environments while addressing equality issues to increase retention. The paper recommends more research into the indirect effects of inclusion and other organizational factors on retention, and it provides useful implications for HR policy and strategic workforce planning.
