الملخص:<p dir="ltr">Recruiting, preparing and supporting teachers remain a public concern in many countries, with similar concerns voiced in Qatar. Using a Systems Theory Framework, this study explored the systems of influence on Qatari teachers' career development within individual, social, and environmental-societal contexts. Q methodology was applied, using a 40-statement Q-sample. Forty-two teachers participated in this study, including 27 males and 15 females. Results revealed four distinct perspectives with minimal consensus, and alluding to different career plans: (F-1) considering career prospects, (F-2) pursuing leadership positions, (F-3) surviving in the profession, and (F-4) contemplating leaving the profession. Implications for policy planning are discussed.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Teaching and Teacher Education<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.tate.2022.103987" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.tate.2022.103987</a></p>
