Abstract: The current article provides a review of research related to teacher turnover and the factors influencing teachers' decisions to leave their jobs at schools. The article presents the procedures for standardizing a modified version of a methodology used to measure the factors affecting teachers' decisions to quit their positions in schools. The results of a multifactorial analysis showed that workload is one of the most significant factors influencing teachers to make the decision to leave their jobs, considering both their years of experience at the school and the teaching stage. The correlation analysis revealed that colleague support plays a buffering role in factors such as workload and school atmosphere, but not in relation to new opportunities, which might be reasons for teachers to decide to leave their current positions.
Keywords: workload, school climate, new opportunities, teacher support, professional satisfaction
