Inequality in the distribution of teachers among schools and regions has been caused through teacher transfers. In order to better understand the factors influencing teacher transfer intentions in Merti’s public primary schools, the current study examined those elements. The goals were to evaluate the influence of teacher attributes on transfer intentions in public primary schools in Merti sub-county, determine the influence of perceived security on transfer intentions in public primary schools in Merti sub-county, and look into the influence of work environment on transfer intentions in Merti sub-county. The research design for this study was ex post facto. A total of 35 public primary schools’ 89 non-Merti teachers were the target group. Simple random and deliberate sampling techniques were used to choose 29 teachers (non-native). A questionnaire was utilized to gather information from teachers. The data analysis utilized linear regression, weighted averages, percentages, means, standard deviations, and more. According to the study, Merti teacher transfer intentions were significantly influenced by factors such as teacher characteristics, perceived security, and work environment. To prevent further teacher transfers in Arid and Semi-Arid Land, notably in Merti Sub-County, the study recommended that Teachers Service Commission hire and mentor teachers from the area.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
