Turnover, factors of turnover, turnover intention, teacherAbstract
The purpose of this research was to find out how much teachers in East Wollega Zone were planning to leave their jobs due to issues with pay, working conditions, and overall job satisfaction. One hundred forty-four educators were included in the study. To gather information, a questionnaire was utilized. We used correlation, percentage, mean, and standard deviation to examine the data. The tests' significance was established at α =.05. Teachers planned to leave their positions in large numbers, according to the report. They were dissatisfied with their employment. Teachers were not drawn to the position due to the weak work conditions and low pay. There was a strong correlation between teachers' intentions to leave their jobs and low job satisfaction, as well as poor school working conditions and low pay. Therefore, all relevant entities must address the matter. So, it's reasonable to assume that the Ministry of Education will come up with generous compensation plans for educators. Additionally, schools are required to step up their efforts to create a welcoming and supportive school climate that promotes learning.
