Abstract: Purpose This paper basically aims at exploring and investigating the impact of factors including career growth opportunities, workplace environment, managerial support, rewards & recognition system , and worklife balance on ‘turnover intention’ of teachers, in Bahria Schools and Colleges at Karachi.For the sake of ascertaining influence of these factors on employee turnover intention, six Bahria Schools and Colleges at Karachi were chosen.Methodology By adopting a quantitative approach, views of 120 respondents both male & female were obtained with the help of a well structured questionnaire.The data were treated by applying correlation and regression analysis tools with the help of SPSS software, version 22.Findings The results indicated that all five factors were negatively related with teachers’ turnover intention.However, impact of worklife balance was not insignificant.Similarly, results of the female employees varied from those of the male respondents.Male employees were comparatively less concerned about the issues related to worklife balance as compared to their female counterparts.Since all independent variables, if suitably practiced, also lead to employee satisfaction, the study clearly reflected the inverse relationship between employee satisfaction and turnover intention.Implications This study can help the management of Bahria Schools and Colleges to understand the factors responsible for employee turnover intention.By paying due attention towards the identified factors, the Bahria Schools and Colleges can significantly enhance the motivation level of teachers, thereby reducing their turnover intention.The study is considered equally useful for other Schools and Colleges.In the end, future researchers have been advised to further explore the likely contribution of other factors towards employee satisfaction and reduced turnover intention.
