Abstract: Innovation in teaching is related to a form of service delivery in which teaching methods contribute to students learning process. Higher education institutions are looking for ways to engage and retain students. In this sense, this study aims to analyse the relationships between innovation in teaching, quality in teaching, organisational commitment and student retention. In order to achieve this goal, a quantitative, descriptive research was carried out with analysis through modelling of structural equations, applied to eight higher education institutions (public and private), in the courses of administration, accounting sciences and production engineering, with participation of 703 students in the southern states of Brazil. Results show that innovation must generate quality, in order to compromise students. This study presents a framework for analysis of innovation in teaching, quality in teaching, organisational commitment and student retention.
