Abstract: Retaining employees continues to be a significant issue in the healthcare industry, especially among nurses, as elevated turnover rates can interfere with patient care and place a strain on hospital resources. However, there were limited studies on the employee retention and employee motivation among nurses in private hospitals in General Santos City. For this reason, this study aimed to determine the level of nurses’ motivation and its effect towards retention. Correlational methods of research were used. The study involved one hundred(100) full-time nurses. An adopted questionnaire was used. The findings revealed that the employee retention is high in terms of good working relationships with colleagues, as it suggests a positive work environment where team members feel valued, supported, and connected, fostering loyalty and satisfaction. It is also high in terms of fair promotion practices, this means that employees feel valued and motivated because opportunities for advancement are distributed equitably based on merit, fostering trust and long-term commitment to the organization. Further, employee motivation is high in terms of emotional investment in an organization, they feel a strong sense of purpose, passion, and commitment toward their work, which drives their dedication and overall performance. When it comes to a high level of organizational commitment, it indicates that employees are more invested, devoted, and committed to the organization’s objectives, principles, and future prosperity. It was also revealed that most of the factors in employee motivation have a substantial impact on the sub-variables of employee retention.
