This mixed model study analyzed the relationship between school culture and teachers' intentions to remain in their current position, teacher job satisfaction, and teacher absenteeism. Among PreK-12th educators, significant negative relationships existed between four subcomponents of school culture that are collaborative leadership, teacher collaboration, collegial support, unity of purpose, and learning partnership, and teachers' tendency to leave their job. Also, a significant positive relationship existed between two subcomponents of school culture that are teacher collaborative and unity of purpose, and teacher job satisfaction. There were significant negative relationships found between two subcomponents of school culture that is, professional development and unity of purpose and teachers' absenteeism. This study recommended placing more emphasis on the following dimensions of the school culture: teacher-principal relationships, teacher-teacher relationships, and unity of purpose to improve job retention, job satisfaction, and attendance among educators.
