The target group consisted of 11,092 faculty members of HEC-recognised universities located in Islamabad. By using a convenience sampling technique, 198 faculty members were selected as sample. To measure the intention to migrate Planning and Preparation for Opportunities Assessment scale was used. Professionalism Assessment scale was used to assess teachers’ professionalism. The data revealed that the intention to migrate was having a significant effect on the professionalism of the teachers. Female faculty members were found to be significantly more inclined to migrate and better in their professionalism as compared to male faculty members.
