Factors Contributing to Iranian EFL Teachers’ Burnout and Retention

چکیده مقاله

This study intended to explore the factors contributing to teacher burnout as well as retention. In this vein, diverse Iranian EFL teachers from different institutes were interviewed, and then, in order to select a subset of common responses and remove the redundant ones, the three types of coding, i.e. open, axial, and selective coding, were applied, so that 9 components were extracted through the analysis which comprised a model describing teacher retention strategies through which the EFL teachers’ identities may be better formed. Furthermore, this study has suggested some pedagogical implications for administrators, educators, teachers, and institutes throughout the Iranian context to take these proposed factors and strategies in this model into account so as to reduce teacher turnover and promote teacher retention and professional identity construction.
