    El objetivo de nuestra investigación es analizar la satisfacción profesional como factor de retención de los educadores de adultos. Se realizaron un total de 25 entrevistas en Mozambique. El estudio adoptó método cualitativo, utilizando la grounded theory. Los resultados encontraron problemas crónicos en la Gestión de Recursos Humanos (GRH) del sector educativo público de Mozambique. Las dificultades en el desarrollo de la carrera, la formación y las escasas recompensas se señalan como factores que afectan a la satisfacción profesional de los adultos. Además, el apoyo a la carrera profesional y los incentivos financieros no se corresponden con las expectativas de retención de los educadores de adultos. Los resultados muestran la insatisfacción de los educadores de adultos y, en consecuencia, la escasa retención.

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.
