Abstract
Teacher shortages and attrition are problems of international
concern. One of the most frequent reasons for teachers leaving
the profession is a lack of job satisfaction. Accordingly, in this
study we have adopted a causal inference machine learning
approach to identify practical interventions for improving overall
levels of job satisfaction. We apply our methodology to the
English subset of the data from TALIS 2018. Of the treatments we
investigate, participation in continual professional development
and induction activities are found to have the most positive
effect. The negative impact of part-time contracts is also
demonstrated
