employee retention among employees in the telecommunication company in Malaysia. To achieve this objective, four determinant of transformational leadership style: individual consideration ,intellectual stimulation, inspirational motivation and idealized influence and seven determinants of employees retention : compensation, job characteristics, opportunities or training and development, supervisor support, career opportunities and work-life balance. A census strategy will be employed to collect information through the conducted survey since the target population is
