Abstract
The goal of our research is to analyze the career satisfaction as a retention factor of adult educators. A total of 25 interviews were conducted in Mozambique. The study adopted qualitative method, using grounded theory. The results found chronic problems in Mozambican Human Resource Management (HRM) Public Educational Sector. The difficulties in career development, training, and poor rewards are pointed as factors that affect adult career satisfaction. In addition, the career support, and financial incentives do not match with adult educators’ retention expectancy. The findings show the dissatisfaction of adult educators and consequently increase the turnover.
