Effects of the Organizational Factors on Teachers' Retention: Perceptions of Private Secondary School Teachers of Lyari Town

Abstract

The teaching occupation and the essential tasks and duties of teachers are necessary for developing every nation's human resources. The teachers are the pillar of our country, and without them, the standard of our education will suffer since teachers are the nearest to the human mind and are prime drivers of economic development. Therefore, educational administration and organizational factors play a pivotal role in making teachers motivated and satisfied to sustain their academic institutions' jobs and should focus on switching jobs frequently. This study examined the association between organizational and teacher retention in eight private secondary schools in Lyari town Karachi, Sindh Pakistan. The study formulated three objectives and hypotheses. The research design was a correlation—the population of the study comprised of teachers from schools. A random sampling technique was used, and a questionnaire was distributed among 200 teachers to collect data. Data were gathered using an instrument that was self-made with the help of literature reviewed and experts' suggestions. The questionnaire was validated and piloted. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient was determined. Ensure the reliability at 0.85, respectively. The Pearson correlation statistic was used to test the hypotheses. The findings reveal significant relationships between teachers' salary packages, teachers' workload, professional development opportunities, and teachers' retention in schools. Further, the study's findings reveal that educational administration and management align with government compensation policies regarding teachers' salaries and promotions and focus on their teaching workload and other fringe benefits.

“…In reviewing two decades of policy papers on integrating technology into K-12 education in the United States, Culp et al (2005) referenced the 1983 report titled "A Nation at Risk" by The National Commission on Excellence in Education. The report said that it is essential for all high school graduates to possess both knowledge and skill in operating the latest generation of computers (Oad, & Niazi, 2021).
