    Employees are the most valuable assets in the organization. Many successful organizations have strategies to look after their employees, such as good pay, attractive work environment, and profit-sharing systems. However, preliminary investigations revealed that employee retention rate and career success in public polytechnics in Oyo State is on the decline, thereby leading to employee exiting the institution. Hence, this study investigated Leadership Style as predictor of Turnover Intention and Career Success of Non-teaching Staff in Public Polytechnics, Oyo State, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey research design was used for this study. Population consists of 986 non-teaching staff with a sample size of 277 determined from RaoSoft Sample size determinant. A validated questionnaire was used to collect data. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that leadership style has a moderate and positive correlation with turnover intention of non-teaching staff (Adj. R2 = 0.184; p < 0.05; B = 0.384), also leadership style has a weak and positive correlation with career success of non-teaching staff in the selected Public Polytechnics in Oyo State, Nigeria (Adj. R2 = 0.118; p < 0.05; B = 0.366).
