| description | This research examined academic employees’ intentions to leave higher education institutions based on gender and age. A quantitative research approach with a descriptive survey design was used. 319 academic employees from private and public universities in Addis Ababa were sampled to collect the data using the proportional stratified random sampling method. Mean, ANOVA, and t-tests analyzed the data. The findings of this study showed that the majority of the respondents intended to leave their academic institutions. This study also indicated that female academic employees have more intent to leave than male academic employees. Moreover, a middle-aged group of academic employees was found to have a significantly higher intention to leave than younger and relatively older age groups of academic employees. Thus, administrators of the universities provide financial incentives and promotion opportunities to academic employees. They also address gender issues concerning female academics. |
