A mixed-method research approach, comprising literature surveys and interviews, is employed to gather data from a diverse sample of teachers working in private higher vocational colleges in China. The study found that compensation, social status, occupational stress, leadership style and the career development are influencing factors of teachers’ turnover intention in private higher vocational colleges in China. These findings provide vital insights for educational leaders and policymakers seeking to develop effective teacher retention strategies in these colleges.
