Abstract: This study thoroughly examines the two complex theories related to work engagement in the context of teacher retention. Emphasising the crucial significance of achieving a harmonious and cohesive degree of engagement, it aims to address the urgent problem of teacher attrition. The study creates a unified narrative that redefines teacher retention, especially in marginalised communities. It reframes the topic by integrating Kahn's theory of engagement with Schaufeli et al. model of work engagement. These two theoretical frameworks provide teachers with a deeper comprehension and direction in navigating the complexities of their profession, assisting them in achieving long-term commitment. This study offers both theoretical insight and practical recommendations for educational institutions and policymakers to enhance teacher retention.
