| dc.description.abstract | This study intended to find out the relationship between career development and retention of teachers in Primary Schools in Morukatipe Sub-County Tororo District, Uganda. The objectives of the study were to establish the relationship between employee performance appraisal, staff training practices, promotion practices and retention of teachers in Primary Schools in MorukatipeSub-County Tororo District. The study adopted the correlational research design on a sample of 153 respondents using a self-administered questionnaire and an interview guide. Data were analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative data analysis methods. The quantitative data analysis methods were descriptive statistics that included frequencies, percentages and means, and inferential analyses that were correlation and regression analyses. Descriptive analysis revealed that employee retention (Mean=3.00), performance appraisal (Mean=2.95), training practice (Mean=2.64) and promotion (Mean=2.97) were moderate. The study findings revealed that employee performance appraisal (p=0.018) and promotion practices (p=0.025) had a positive and significance influence on retention of teachers but training practices (p=0.767) had a positive but insignificant influence on retention of teachers. Therefore, it was concluded that; employee performance appraisal is an imperative tool necessary for the retention of teachers; promotion is probable pre-requisite for the retention of teachers but training is less essential for retention of teachers. It was thus recommended that the government and schools’ authorities should ensure that all teachers are appraised regularly. With respect to promotion, the Education Service Commission and foundation bodies which are responsible for the promotion of teachers, they should reform the promotional practices. The Ministry to prioritize the provision of training since it was almost lacking in schools. | |
