It is widely believed that technical institutes are plagued by shortages of teachers, primarily due to recent increases in enhanced student enrollments, new courses, new institutes and teacher retirements etc. This investigation summarizes a series of analyses that have investigated the possibility that there are other factors tied to the organizational characteristics and conditions of technical institutes that are behind technical institute staffing problems. The data utilized in this investigation are from the technical institute. These data indicate that technical institute staffing problems are not primarily due to teacher shortages, in the sense insufficient availability of qualified teachers. Rather, the data indicate that technical institute staffing problems are primarily due to a “revolving door” - where large numbers of qualified teachers depart their jobs for reasons other than retirement. The data shows that the amount of turnover accounted for by retirement is relatively minor when compared to that associated with other factors, such as teacher job dissatisfaction and teachers pursuing other jobs. This investigation report emphasis on the attrition of employees in technical education institutes, it further makes a thorough investigation to find out the various factors contributing for employee's attrition in the technical Institutes. Further the investigation emphasis on the various factors that contributes for the employee's retention in the organization.
