Based on reasearch involving a sample of 180 school teachers, the determinants and process associated with the intention to change careers was examined using path analysis on data from public school teachers. Overall, the empirical analysis provided support for the model and its causal ordering. However, lack‐of‐fit components suggested that a more complex model with additional paths might be more appropriate. Implications of the findings for research are discussed.
