Abstract
Rapid advancement in China’s educational landscape, made private higher education institutions preparing themselves in taking an increasingly significant role towards the country development. Thus, this research focused on the turnover intentions among faculty members of private universities in Yunnan, China. In today’s educational environment, faculty members’ turnover at private universities in Yunnan has become a noteworthy issue. As the backbone to the educational delivery, lecturer stability is essential to both teaching quality and institutional progress. However, data released by the Ministry of Education and on-site data collected from private universities in Yunnan indicate that this group shows an inclination towards leaving the institution. To address this, the study proposes strategies aimed at strengthening Job Embeddedness (JE) by cultivating a supportive organizational culture and enhancing lecturers' integration within the institution and the surrounding community. These initiatives are designed to strengthen Organizational Commitment (OC) and lower turnover intentions, thus supporting the long-term development of private universities in Yunnan. The study is based on the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and Social Embeddedness Theory (SET). Following TRA, the study identifies JE dimensions (Organizational Fit, Organizational Link, Organizational Sacrifice, Community Fit, Community Link, and Community Sacrifice) as key variables.
