      abstract = {An important issue facing most organizations currently is how to retain their top talented employees as a result of unpredictable changes in the requirement of professions. The relevance of employee retention in the place of work cannot be declared untrue. This study examined the relationship between career adaptability (career concern and career curiosity dimensions) and employee retention in the health sector in Nigeria particularly university teaching hospitals in south south zone. A descriptive research survey design was carried out in this study and two hundred and eighty nine (289) questionnaires were administered to the respondents of which two hundred and seventy two (272) were fully retrieved and completed. The study utilized descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis in analyzing the data obtained from the respondents. The statistical analysis was carried out via STATA 13.0 Microsoft Statistical software.  The study findings unveiled that there is a significant relationship between career concern and employee retention.  The result also unveiled that there is a non-significant relationship between career curiosity and employee retention. The study recommended based on this findings that management in the health sector particularly, university teaching hospitals should implement career development programs and provide opportunities for continuous learning as this will increase the adaptive capacity of employees.  This will in turn make top talented employees remain in the organization thereby, increasing employee retention. Additionally, management needs to do a better job of fostering an environment at work where workers are motivated to diligently look for their own fit in their profession and adopt a curious mindset that seeks out new information to help them understand themselves and their work better.},
