among the individual characteristics, leadership strategies and
incentives as well as employee retention tendency on the basis of
an explanatory model through analyzing the factors of participation,
job satisfaction and staff turnover rate. The research utilizes descriptive-
correlation method to study its statistical population, i.e. whole
employees of Shiraz Welfare Department. The researchers used
stratified simple random sampling method to select 125 out of 240
employees as research samples. Data collection tools included multifactor
leadership questionnaire, employees’ turnover and participation
questionnaire, and researcher-made job-salary-benefits satisfaction
scale. The data collection tools underwent validity and reliability verification
tests before being distributed among the sample employees. The
gathered data were later analyzed by means of SPSS-16 and LISREL-
8.54 statistical computer applications meanwhile, Multivariate
Regression, Pearson Correlation coefficient as well as model fitting
were employed to analyze the data as well. The findings showed that
employees’ individual characteristics have no significant relationship
with employee retention tendency. Yet, they indicated that there was
significant relationship between employees’ individual characteristics
and their perception of leadership strategies and incentives. However,
a significant relationship was explored between leadership strategies
and employee retention tendency. Moreover, a significant relationship
was found between leadership incentives and employees’ job satisfaction.
And last, but not the least, leadership strategies and incentives have
significant mediatory role in relationship between employees’ individual
characteristics and their tendency to retain.
