Teacher attrition, or the voluntary exit of teachers from the profession, is a global challenge that adversely impacts the efficacy of education systems. This study aims to explore the factors that influence Bhutanese teachers' job satisfaction and career decisions and to propose some policy recommendations to address the issues surrounding teacher attrition in Bhutan. The study adopts a qualitative approach based on the constructivist framework, employing semi-structured interviews with 25 teachers who left the profession within the last five years. Thematic analysis of the interview uncovered three primary factors, such as extensive workload, lack of recognition, and limited opportunities for professional development, as the leading causes for teacher attrition. Based on the findings, the study suggests some strategies to improve teacher retention and motivation, such as reducing teacher workload and stress, providing more recognition and support for teachers, and creating more opportunities for teacher learning and growth.
