Abstract:
Purpose
To deepen our understanding about the development ofturnover intention, the purpose ofthis
paper is to develop a conceptual model based on the stress theory to explain turnover intention
among primary school teachers in Karachi, complementing previous literature that mainly
emphasizes the effect ofturnover intention with taking into account anxiety and pressure.
Methodology & Design
Testing ofthis model by investigating personnel across Cambridge subsidiary primary school
teachers confirms the applicability ofstress theory in Karachi. Questionnaires were distributed
in schools to get data from primary teachers. Data is quantitative in nature.
Limitations
This study was conducted on only primary school teachers in Karachi. As a result, the
implications drawn from this study may not be highly generalizable to understand the turnover
intention of employees in other sectors.
Recommendations
Schools need to adopt such management practices that show high value for teachers. For
example, give them enough reward and recognition for their good work, using methods such
as collaborative for decision making, and acknowledged teachers need and provide them
proper pace of change and make them clear about their job duties
