Factors Affecting Teachers' Turnover Intention: A Study of Cadet Colleges in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of financial, managerial, job satisfaction, job stress, individual, and family factors on the turnover intention of teachers in cadet colleges in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The study's nature is quantitative, using a survey questionnaire to collect the perspectives of educators. The study utilised simple random sampling to choose a sample of 223 teachers. The study found that educators faced intricate challenges and were considering quitting their current job upon finding another opportunity. The study found a significant correlation between turnover intention and five factors: managerial, job satisfaction, job stress, individual, and family. The study's multiple linear regression analysis found significant correlations between teachers' turnover intention in cadet colleges and their job satisfaction, job stress, and individual and family factors. The financial factor has a weak correlation and no significant influence on turnover intention. Cadet college administrators can use the study's findings to improve these criteria to prevent teacher turnover.
