• Pay and rewards are important retention factors, but they are not the only factors that shape teachers' retention choices.
• The level of workload impacts significantly on teachers' choices.
• Teachers value greater investment in their professional development.
• Respondents value the option of having the flexibility to access part-time arrangements.
• Teachers prefer situations where they receive support from school leadership and peers. They have shown a strong disinclination towards poor teaching environments.
