Factors that Contribute to Job Satisfaction and Teacher Retention in Title I Versus Non-Title I Elementary Schools
Author: Janice Lea Tolliver
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Elementary school teachers
Languages : en
Pages : 107
Book Description
The public school systems in the United States are facing a major teacher shortage in the near future due to the fact that teachers are leaving the profession by the thousands each year. It is imperative that this trend is stopped and reversed to ensure that quality teachers remain in schools. The current study employed a causal-comparative design to determine if working conditions in Title I schools versus non-Title I schools were associated with teacher job satisfaction and teacher retention using the North Carolina Teacher Working Conditions (NC TWC) Survey. The qualifications of the selected participants were that they were employed in a specific district in North-Central North Carolina during the 2015-2016 school year, and taught in two specific Title I or two specific non-Title I elementary schools. Participants were drawn from a convenience sample of teachers (n= 110) in two Title I elementary schools and two non-Title I elementary schools and were randomly selected from that sample for job satisfaction, and fifty Title I elementary schools and fifty non-Title I elementary schools (n=100) for teacher turnover rate. The data were analyzed using a t-test for independent means to determine whether the means of the two groups were statistically significant from one another in job satisfaction and a chi-square test to determine whether teacher turnover rate was distributed differently between the Title I schools and non-Title I schools. No significant difference was found in any subcategory for job satisfaction and no significant difference was found in teacher retention. Recommendations for future research include utilizing a larger number of schools and districts in the sample and examining all subcategories of the NC TWC Survey. The results of this study may influence the steps that school systems can take to retain quality teachers.

Teachers' Job Satisfaction, Organizational Commitment, Turnover Intentions, and Actual Turnover
Author: Matthew P. Finster
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Teachers
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
To better understand how strategic management policies may mitigate teacher turnover, this study presents an alternative conceptual framework, which links three interrelated factors of teaching quality to attitudinal constructs that may influence teachers' turnover decisions. The teacher turnover model, derived from applied psychology, examines how teachers' job satisfaction, organizational commitment, turnover intentions, shocks and economic opportunity are associated with different turnover outcomes. Using structural equation modeling with data from two large national datasets--the 2007-2008 Schools and Staffing Survey and the 2008-2009 Teacher Follow-up Survey--this study aims to identify the determinants of and relative influence of these constructs on five different teacher turnover outcomes. The findings indicate that job satisfaction is significantly, negatively related to turnover intentions, which, in turn, predicts teachers that stay in their respective schools from one year to the next. A broad theme emerges from the findings that suggest teachers stay in their respective schools from one year to the next for similar reasons, yet teachers that engage in intra- and inter district movement and attrition from the public teaching profession do so for a variety of reasons. These results signal potential strategic teacher talent management policies aimed at supporting teachers and their work.

Factors Affecting Job Satisfaction and Retention of Beginning Teachers
Author: Karen S. Myers Giacometti
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Employee retention
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
In this national study, a combination of factors that affect teacher satisfaction and retention were examined. Domains that discriminate between teachers who choose to stay or leave the teaching profession were investigated. A research-developed questionnaire was administered to 450 randomly selected first, second, and third year teachers. Survey items were related to domains affecting teacher satisfaction and retention. A demographic section was included to collect background information. A principal components analysis resulted in the emergence of domains that were used in the final analysis. They are: emotional factors; school and community support; instructional support; prepration in teaching curriculum, managing students, and assessing students; collaboration; compensation and benefits; motivation to teach; and culture shock. Eleven percent of the respondents chose to leave the profession. Results of the discriminant analysis indicated that the best predictor in choosing to leave or stay in the teaching profession was emotional factors followed by compensation and benefits and culture shock. The analysis was used to determine if the individuals in the two groups were correctly classified based on their scores on the eight predictor variables. The number of cases correctly classified was 91.4 percent.
