| The management of teacher turnover for any institution is thought to be a crucial issue in the competitive world of today. The study proposes to investigate factors, that determine teachers’ turnover intention in Ethiopian government schools in the District of Aalicho Wuriro. Descriptive and explanatory research design, with a quantitative research approach, was used to achieve the objectives. Primary data from 274 teachers, were gathered by employing self-administrated and modified questionnaires, using the Likert Scale. The results of the study revealed that job satisfaction (JS), workplace environment (WE), alternative job opportunity (AJO), employee supervisor relationship (ESR), salary, and work life balance (WLB) reported significant correlation with turnover intention (TI). The findings also revelaed that all independent variables, except alternative job opportunity, significantly determined TI. Finally, the researchers suggest to the local authorities and school administrators, to create pleasant and favourable working environment for the teachers. It is also important to create conducive environments where teachers feel they are valued.
