Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of teachers’ P-O fit levels on their turnover intentions and the role of psychological well-being in this relationship. Data collected from 507 teachers, through the scales measuring teachers’ P-O fit, well-being and intent to leave the teaching profession and intent to move to another school, was analyzed in a 3-step regression model. The analysis showed that teachers’ P-O perceptions had a direct and significant effect on their intent to move to another school and intent to leave the profession. Both of these effects were partially mediated by their well-being levels.
