All these private high schools teachers work in the private high schools located in Istanbul, Turkey.Semi structured interview technique was used. Random sampling and snowball sampling methods are used. Factor analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and regression analysis were carried out. The results indicated that the effect of work family conflict on turnover intention is significant and the direction of this relationship is positive.
