        abstract = {This study examines the holistic well-being of teaching staff in private colleges, with a focus on identifying key factors influencing satisfaction, engagement and retention. Conducted in six private colleges in Erode district using Garrett’s Ranking Technique, the research evaluates twelve dimensions including leadership, career growth, decision-making autonomy, workplace conditions, peer collaboration, job security, recognition and compensation. Results reveal that recognition and appreciation, leadership and institutional support and fair compensation are the most influential factors, while mid-tier aspects such as collegial relationships, professional growth and physical health also play a significant role. Lower-ranked factors like job security, physical work conditions, environmental elements and decision-making autonomy, though less impactful, remain essential for a supportive work environment. The findings suggest that strengthening leadership practices, providing meaningful recognition, ensuring competitive rewards and fostering collaborative cultures can enhance faculty well-being, thereby improving institutional performance, retention and academic outcomes.},
