The Impacts of Burnout, Absenteeism and Commitment on Intention to Leave

Abstract

It is an accredited fact that only the education can provide a solid foundation for the social and economic development. In the same line, the Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) can play a very prominent role in the uplift of the educational standards. The number of highly qualified and experienced teachers is not proportional to the needs of the HEIs. In every country, the criterion as furnished by the corresponding authorities is also too strict to be followed in its true format. The problem of the short fall in the qualified teachers is further aggravated by the phenomenon of intention to leave (ITL). It is observed that due to the job burnout and absenteeism, the downward trends in the commitment level induce the ITL. Consequently, the concerned institution has to carry the administrative, academic and economic burdens. Therefore, the factors behind the ITL should be sorted and analyzed on priority basis to bring down the rate of switchover among the faculty members.
