Abstract
The present-day Nigerian educational system, especially schools in Ibadan Metropolis, Oyo State, seems to be faced with challenges pertaining to teachers’ turnover. This is evident in the high rate of absenteeism, lackadaisical attitude towards their duties, job hunting even while on their current job, poor organisational effectiveness, and seeking ways to leave the country, among others. These observed phenomena may be as a result of poor motivational factors, work stress, poor job security, a heavy workload, a poor salary, and poor leadership, among others. There exists a dearth in literature, on the combined influence of motivational factors and leadership styles on teachers’ turnover intention in Ibadan Metropolis, which this study tends to fill. A descriptive research design was used to guide the study. The population consists of 8,315 teachers distributed across 337 public secondary schools within Ibadan metropolis. A multi-stage sampling procedure that contains different sampling technique was
employed. The study utlilised a self-developed questionnaire as instrument for the study. Findings revealed that the level of turnover intentions among teachers in senior secondary schools in Ibadan Metropolis is high( x̄=3.15); level of motivational factors in senior secondary schools in Ibadan Metropolis is moderate ( x̄=2.96);democratic leadership style is the most predominant style in senior secondary schools in Ibadan Metropolis; the combined influence of motivational factors and leadership styles has a significant influence on teachers’ turnover intention in senior secondary schools in Ibadan Metropolis (Adj. R2 =0.975) and (F(2,1370) =26746.351; p< 0.05);autonomy has the highest influence on teachers’ turnover(β = 0.670, t = 37.142, p< 0.05).
