Factors influencing fast turnover of teachers: Impact on personnel's satisfaction

The study examined the factors causing the high turnover of teachers in St. Mary’s College of Baliuag, Inc. (SMCB) for the past four school years. School year 2020-2021 was highlighted when twenty-three from the Integrated Basic Education resigned. Records of the said teaching personnel were obtained from the offices of the Principal and Guidance and Testing Center. The data were analyzed using qualitative and descriptive research methods. Exit survey questionnaire and individualized interview were administered in this research. Responses of the teachers were analyzed and categorized into five major factors such as burnout/fatigue, management support, working conditions, interpersonal relationship, and career change. These five factors were given emphasis for resolutions in the formulation of more effective teacher selection and retention policies, enhancement of management support system and faculty mentoring.
