INVESTIGATING THE DYNAMICS OF JOB SATISFACTION, BURNOUT AND TURNOVER INTENTION AMONG TEACHERS IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

The purpose of this correlational study was to examine the dynamics of Job Satisfaction, burnout and turnover intention among teachers of higher education. Through purposive sampling N=146 teachers (males=62, females=84) participated in this study. Their ages range was from 20 to 60 years. The target population consisted of teachers with at least 5 or more years of working experience. The data was collected through Google form. Generic Job Satisfaction scale (GJSS) determines the job satisfaction. Turnover Intention Scale (TIS-6) (Roodt, 2008) measured the turnover intention among teachers. The research indicated an insignificant negative correlation between job satisfaction and turnover intention among higher education faculty. Female faculty exhibited marginally elevated turnover intentions relative to male counterparts, yet this disparity lacked significance. University faculty demonstrated slightly enhanced job satisfaction in comparison to college faculty. In summary, no statistically significant variations were noted based on gender or type of institution.
