Job training satisfaction, job satisfaction and turnover intentions among secondary school teachers.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between job training satisfaction, job satisfaction and turnover intention. The study was intended to achieve the following objectives; to explore the relationship between job training satisfaction and job satisfaction, to examine the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention and to establish the relationship between job training satisfaction and turnover intention. A correlational study design was used in the study to establish the relationship between job training satisfaction, job satisfaction and turnover intention among secondary school teachers. The study used a sample of 180 respondents who were adopted using simple random sampling technique. Data was then collected using self-administered questionnaire and later analysed using Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS Version 23). The findings of this study revealed that there is a positive significant relationship between job training satisfaction, and job satisfaction, (r=435, p<0.01). Implying job training satisfaction has an effect on job satisfaction. The study findings further revealed that there is a relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intentions, (r=397, p<0.01). Lastly the study findings indicated that there is no significant relationship between job training satisfaction and turnover intentions, (r=152, p>0.05). Higher job training satisfaction appears to positively impact job satisfaction and subsequently reduce turnover intentions among employees. Several tailored training programs and continuous feedback mechanisms should be drafted by Ministry of education and school heads to bolster employee engagement and retention.
