Abstract:

The construction industry is one of the booming industries in India. The engineers working in an organization plays significant role in implementing the project. The main objective of the engineer’s is to construct a quality product with the use of techniques, tooling and equipment to reduce the cost and time of construction. The organizations need skilled engineers to complete their projects in time. In this research discriminant analysis technique has been employed to study about retention of engineers in the construction industry. A method is proposed which can be applied for existing engineers to ascertain whether they will continue in the same organization or not and the same procedure may applied for the new recruitment also.
