IMPACT OF PERFORMANCE-RELATED ANXIETY AND WORK PRESSURE ON TURNOVER INTENTION. A CASE STUDY ON PRIMARY TEACHERS IN SUBSIDIARIES OF CAMBRIDGE SCHOOLS

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
