The study dealt on the decision making skills of the principals and their related behaviors as perceived by the teachers pertaining to teacher turnover as documented in the qualitative or mixed methods studies. This study used qualitative analysis implementing the SPIDER framework. The goal of this framework was to locate related research articles that reported empirical findings on the principal leadership and decision making skills to the teachers’ turnover. It was heavily dependent on the researcher’s analytic and integrative skills and personal knowledge of the social context where the data was collected. Through a systematic review, the heterogeneity between the studies was minimized which included study regions, authorship collaboration, databases and their uniform resource locator (URL), design, and participants and sample size. The examined studies suggested that principals need to understand, that in order to retain qualified teachers, they need to appreciate, respect, empower, and support them in a positive school culture. It was noted that principals have to focus well on creating a positive, supportive environment in their schools as people-oriented leaders. The study highlighted teachers’ perceptions of the principals based on their leadership behavior and decision making skills that impacted their position to remain or leave the institution.
