摘要：The frequency at which teachers leave the teaching profession is significantly higher than the corresponding rate in any other domain. Studies have shown that teaching is a stressful career, which often lead to teacher burnout and hence turnover. The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of selected factors from the literature on teachers' turnover in schools. The selected factors included: (a) leadership both transformational and transactional; (b) career stress; and (c) personality characteristics. Surveying was employed to collect data from 176 teachers, such that almost 75% of those teacherswere teaching in private schools and approximately 25% were enrolled in public schools. SPSS 18.0 was employed to support descriptive and analytical statistical analysis of data. Findings of this study indicate that (a) Leadership style has significant influence on career stress; (b) Career stress bears positive relationship with turnover intention;(c)Leadership style has negative influence on turnover intention; (d)Personality characteristic has no moderating effect on the relationship between leadership style and career stress; (e) Personality characteristic brings no moderating effect on the relationship between career stress and turnover intention; (f) Career stress possesses a mediation effect on the relationship between leadership style and turnover intention
