        abstract = {Employee retention has become a key issue in the rapidly growing IT sector in Gujarat. The purpose of this study is to examine how four major determinants—work flexibility, workload balance, work culture, and retention practices—affect employees’ intention to stay. Using a structured questionnaire and a simulated sample of 255 IT employees, the study applies descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regression to test two hypotheses. The findings show that all four factors have a significant positive impact on intention to stay, and retention practices emerged as the strongest predictor. The study emphasizes the need for IT companies to design integrated policies that address both work–life balance (WLB) and long-term HR strategies. The conclusion provides practical recommendations for organizations seeking to strengthen their retention systems in a competitive work environment.},
