ABSTRACT

Considered the most valuable resource and edge over competitors, a college's teaching staff stability. This study looks into how job happiness influences the linkages between employee loyalty, career advancement, and servant leadership. A numerical methodology was employed with a sample including 407 educators from vocational institutes located in Guangzhou, China. The findings indicated that job satisfaction mediates the relationship between career growth, servant leadership, and employee loyalty. Career development and employee loyalty are positively correlated with one another. The findings demonstrated that non-cash rewards, such as career advancement and servant leadership, had a favourable effect on staff loyalty. Developing and improving the dimensions would help legislators and college administrators cultivate committed instructors for mutual benefit, improving the college.
