In today’s context, many schools face the challenge of teachers’ retention, satisfaction and commitment to their teaching profession. Furthermore, resignation and mobility from the teaching profession, particularly from teachers who are teaching focus subjects, has been the main concern. It is in this regard that the study of this significance was conceptualised. This study aims at determining the teachers’ turnover intention, satisfaction and organisational commitment with regard to their teaching profession. The researcher conveniently selected teaching staff from different schools in the Free State province, from which participants were drawn. The participants were selected randomly; however, the sample was chosen in such a way that the majority of the teachers were in their current jobs for a period longer than five years. The data was obtained from the schools’ principals. The sample size was 140 and the response rate was 100 percent. Items in the questionnaire focused on turnover intention, job satisfaction and organisational commitment of the teaching staff. Closed circuit questions helped in eliciting specific information, the Likert scale, with a rating from one to five, was used. The respondents’ responses were then coded according to the emerging themes using confirmatory analysis factors and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 17 for Windows. The data were analysed using the Microsoft Excel program. Upon the analysis of the estimate of the correlation variables, there was significant correlation between the variables that serve to measure turnover intention, job satisfaction and organisational commitment convergent validity. Furthermore, respondents were not thinking of quitting the Department of Education and their profession (mean, 1.27, 1.99). Also, the moderate mean of 2.75 indicates that respondents were not sure of their future in the profession, although they were not in the market to search for a new employment, that remains a possibility to venture into. The results of the positive mean of 4.51 show that educators are enthusiastic about their job and they find real enjoyment in this profession. The overall mean (4.30) of job satisfaction demonstrates the high level of acceptance among the educators; they were happy with their jobs and planned to remain in their employment. The results of the positive mean of 4.75 show that educators feel positive about the schools where they are working, and are loyal towards the schools. The overall mean of organisational commitment demonstrates the high level of acceptance among the educators; they are committed to their schools.
