This cohort, longitudinal, correlational descriptive design study investigated the relationship between faculty leadership level and student retention. The study was based on the theoretical approaches of the complete leadership model of Bass and Avolio (1994) and the institutional departure model (Tinto, 1993). A questionnaire was administered to determine faculty level of leadership and the institution's student information system was used to determine student retention. Faculty Leadership Level questionnaire was validated and submitted to reliability analysis, resulting 0.92 in Cronbach's Alpha test.
The predominant leadership among faculty was developing level. In terms of the retention rate of faculty, the sample obtained an overall retention rate of 88.5%. The analysis of the Spearman’s correlation coefficient yielded 0.039 rs with a p value> 0.05, determining that there is no relationship between the level of faculty leadership and student retention. The findings of this study validates that the level of faculty leadership and student retention are not associated.
