Contemporary Issues in Employee Stabilization in the Private Education Sector

This thesis addresses the issue of employee stabilization in the private education sector and identifies the main factors influencing their turnover and retention. The aim of the thesis is to map the causes of departures of both teaching and non-teaching staff based on theoretical knowledge and empirical research, and to propose specific measures to increase their retention within the organization. The theoretical part focuses on the characteristics of private education, the differences between the public and private sectors in human resource management, the definition of employee turnover, and the analysis of key factors that influence it, including motivational theories. The practical part combines quantitative research (a questionnaire survey among employees) and qualitative research (semi-structured interviews with school management). The results show that the most common reasons for turnover include low financial compensation, a lack of employee benefits, and limited opportunities for professional growth. On the other hand, positive factors include good interpersonal relationships, supportive leadership, and a high-quality working atmosphere. Based on the collected data, the thesis proposes measures to improve employee stabilization, such as support for continuing education, the development of a benefits system, increased transparency, and ensuring a better work-life balance. The thesis offers practically applicable outcomes that may serve as a guide for the management of private schools dealing with employee stability issues.
