To achieve this purpose, three objectives were established: firstly to examine the relationship between Organisational Justice and Turnover Intent, secondly to examine the relationship between Perceived Organisational Support and Turnover Intent, and lastly to examine the role of Perceived Organisational Support on the relationship between Organisational Justice and Turnover Intent.A survey research design was used to collate data from a population of 1162 teachers of private secondary schools. The Taro Yameneformular was used to determine the sample size of 298 teachers randomly selected from private secondary schools in Jos. The data was cleaned, coded, and properly analysed using multiple regression analysis. The results of the findings indicated that there was a positive relationship between Organisational Justice and Turnover Intent, secondly there exist a negative relationship between Perceived Organisational Support and Turnover Intent and lastly, Perceived Organisational Support did not moderate the relationship between Organisational Justice and Turnover Intent. In conclusion, Organisational Justice should be planted in the perceptions of teachers as it helps to prevent turnover intent or outright turnover of teachers which could further help to enhance the performance of students in WASSCE. Also, the management of educational institutions should focus more on distributive and informational justice to further reduce Turnover Intent to the bearest minimum.
