Retaining qualified teachers is a well-known yet seldom researched issue for many international schools across the world. Teacher turnover has been shown to reduce student performance while also being expensive and hindering to international school development. This study sought to add to the literature and provide implications to reduce turnover and attrition by studying international school teachers who broke their teaching contracts. Teachers who prematurely leave (PL), face considerable professional risks suggesting significant organizational problems at their school. Nine participants, all of whom broke their contract at a Thai international school with a high turnover rate, were recruited for the study. Using quantitative and qualitative methods, the researchers administered a demographic and job satisfaction survey and interviewed each participant. Through the knowledge, motivation, and organizational gap analysis framework, the team of researchers used the rigorous consensual qualitative research (CQR) methodology to analyze the interview data, and frequency analysis for the survey data. Both methods were used to interpret and triangulate participant perspectives. The results revealed that issues regarding professional development, language and cultural adaptation, collaboration, high workload, communication, and lack of leadership and support promoted teacher attrition and turnover. Recommendations for improvement, such as applicable professional development, teaching mentorship, systems of communication and leadership succession were suggested to promote job satisfaction and teacher retention at international schools.Subjects--Topical Terms:
