Abstract
The shortage of teachers in classrooms across the country is not a new problem, and research suggests that this issue has only worsened in recent years. The struggle to find and keep highly qualified teachers in our schools makes it vital to better understand what motivates teachers to remain in and thrive in the profession. The purpose of this narrative inquiry study was to explore participants’ experiences with shared decision-making and their perceptions of organizational citizenship behavior, as well as how each of these relates to their intention to remain on their campuses and in the field of education. This qualitative study included the perspectives of a sample of secondary teachers in a large suburban district in north central Texas and was conducted in two phases. In Phase 1, the researcher collected survey data from 72 participants. For the next phase, nine participants were randomly selected from the list of Phase I participants who volunteered to be included in Phase II interviews. In Phase II, the researcher dove into the narrative experiences and perspectives of participants with semi-structured, one-on-one interviews.
