Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to examine how Career Commitment mediates the connection between Perceived Organizational Support and employee retention.
Design/methodology/approach – Data from 100 respondents across 21 educational institutions in Gilgit-Baltistan were analyzed. The dimensionality and validity of the study variables were examined using regression analysis.
Findings – The results indicate that Perceived Organizational Support is key in forecasting employee retention. The link between Perceived Organizational Support and employee retention is mediated by Career Commitment.
Research limitations/implications – The data were restricted to a cross-sectional design within the Gilgit-Baltistan setting, making it potentially unsuitable for generalization across Pakistan. Moreover, the sample size is smaller in comparison, yet the results are not negatively impacted. 
Originality/value – In the context of Pakistan, there is currently insufficient research on the role of Perceived Organizational Support and Career Commitment. This study represents a thorough endeavor to investigate how Career Commitment influences the connection between Perceived Organizational Support and employee retention.
