Abstract: Retaining faculty at a university depends on a range of factors that have implications on the commitment of the faculty to that institution. In this study, one hundred and twenty faculty members were selected from a public university in Ghana to assess the relationship that exists between retention and commitment of faculty members. This quantitative study used cross-sectional design and convenience sampling techniques to gather data using subjects from the faculty of a university with population of 272. Results from this study disclosed that generally the commitment of the faculty members to their university was high. There was a positive and significant relationship between the level of organizational commitment and compensation received by the members of faculty but with a low effect size. The findings also revealed that the female faculty members were more satisfied with their compensation than their male counterparts and their normative commitment was also higher.
