摘要：Background: Academicians play a crucial role for the quality of education. Their satisfaction will affect the quality of service they render. However, there is no study in Ethiopia that determines the intention to leave among the university staffs. Objectives: To assess the intention to leave and associated factors among the academic staffs of the University of Gondar, Northwest Ethiopia. Materials and Methods: This institution-based, cross-sectional study was conducted from April 14 to 20, 2014. A total of 332 academic staffs were selected in the study using simple random sampling method. The questionnaire was coded and entered to EPI INFO version 3.5.3 and, then, exported to SPSS software, version 20, for analysis. Data were collected using pretested and structured self-administered questionnaire. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were fitted to identify the factors associated with the intention to leave. An adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% confidence interval was computed to determine the level of significance. Results: The proportion of intent to leave in the profession was found to be 66%. Being a male subject (AOR: 2.2; 95% CI:1.2, 4.5), teaching experience of more than 10 years (AOR: 4.6; 95% CI: 1.5, 6.5), job position (AOR: 2.8; 95%: CI 1.27, 6.3), dissatisfaction with pay and benefit (AOR: 1.8; 95% CI 1.08, 3.16), and dissatisfaction with autonomy and professional opportunities (AOR: 4.0; 95% CI: 1.94, 8.2) were the factors significantly associated with the intention to leave. Conclusion: Intention to leave among the academic staffs was found to be high. Strategies that focus on increasing autonomy and professional opportunity, gratifying pay and benefit, and retention of senior academic staffs were recommended.
