This study provides in-depth analyses of how country contexts along with working conditions might relate to teachers’ turnover intentions. Using a large sample of teachers and schools from 32 OECD countries, the study estimates a set of three-level HLM models of turnover intention. The findings reveal that teacher turnover intentions vary significantly across countries and across schools within countries. This variation is a function of teacher-, school-, and country-level factors. The analysis of cross-level interactions indicates that the country contexts might have moderated the nature or strength of the relationships between working conditions and teacher turnover intention.

这项研究对国家背景以及工作条件如何与教师的离职意图进行了深入的分析。该研究使用来自32个经合组织国家的大量教师和学校样本，估计了一套三级HLM离职意向模型。研究结果表明，不同国家之间以及国家内部学校之间教师离职的意图差异很大。这种变化是教师，学校和国家/地区因素的函数。对跨层次互动的分析表明，国家/地区的情况可能减轻了工作条件与教师离职意图之间关系的性质或强度。
