Description
Summary:There is high incidence of teachers' agitation for a better pay and other conditions of service in Ghana. This study assessed the influence of job satisfaction and organizational justice on turnover intentions among teachers. One hundred and fourteen teachers at the Offinso South District of Ghana were conveniently selected to complete the Organizational Justice Index, the Teachers Satisfaction Scale and the Turnover Intention Scale. From the results, turnover intentions negatively correlate with organizational justice and job satisfaction of teachers. With regard to the components of job satisfaction, only pay contributed a significant variance to their turnover intentions. Among the components of organizational justice, distributive and procedural justice contributed also significantly to turnover intentions. Nonetheless, gender had no significant effect on the turnover intentions among teachers.
