    The purpose of the study was to determine if there is significant relationship between Non-monetary incentives and employees retention among academic staff of Kampala International University. A descriptive research design and simple random sampling techniques were used to establish the relationship between none-monetary incentives and academic staff retention. Four objectives guided the study, 1=to determine the profile of respondents, 2=the level of Non-monetary incentives, 3=the level of academic staff retention. 4~to determine if there is a significant relationship between Non-monetary incentives and academic staff retention. Data was analyzed using SPSS’s descriptive statistics with likert scale of 4=strongly agree, 3=agree, 2=disagree, 1=strongly disagree, showing frequencies and means of the independent and dependent variables. Pearsons coefficient formula was used to correlate variables. It was found out that they are significantly correlated, with academic staff Retention index (r=-O.032, sig.=O.O1). At 0.05, the null hypothesis was rejected and alternative hypothesis accepted to the effect that Non-Monetary Incentives significantly influence Academic staff Retention in Kampala International. It was concluded that Non-monetary Incentives have a great influence on Academic Staff Retention in Kampala International University, with the means of 2.54 and 2.49 respectively showing low level of academic staff retention meaning that lack of non-monetary incentives have led to low levels of academic staff retention. Based on the research findings, the researcher recommends that, there is a need for Kampala International University to supplement monetary incentives with non-monetary incentives such that academic staff is motivated to stay on their jobs and provide excellent output
