Description
Teacher attrition is a worldwide phenomenon and many teachers leave the profession before retirement. Teacher behaviour, such as developing an intention to leave, is influenced by individual and contextual (school) factors. A (theoretical) model explaining teacher behaviour at the school level can help, as on this level,organisational improvements can be implemented. The Self-Determination Theory, Integrated Model of Behaviour Prediction and a combination were compared with a survey among Dutch teachers (n=199) to identify their explaining value for teacher attrition. Significant variables were found in both models (Autonomy, Competence, Self-Determined Motivation, Attitude and Perceived norm), and the strongest correlations between Attitude and Perceived norm and teacher attrition were found in the Integrated Model of Behaviour Prediction, both leading to recommendations at the school level.
