This mixed-methods study used an integrated approach to investigate the drivers that impact the transition from student to child welfare professional and factors that motivated a highly trained cohort of child welfare professionals to stay or leave the child welfare workforce (post one–year employment). The concept of transfer of learning and self-determination theory guided the analysis of emergent themes and quantitative data, where appropriate. Results suggest it is essential that child welfare agencies cultivate an organizational culture and climate of support and that some of the most intrinsically motivated child welfare workers are likely to leave.

是什么促使受过良好训练的儿童福利专业人员留下或离开？

这项混合方法研究采用综合方法来调查影响从学生向儿童福利专业人士过渡的驱动因素，以及促使受过良好训练的儿童福利专业人员队伍留下或离开儿童福利劳动力的因素（一年后工作） 。学习转移和自决理论的概念在适当的情况下指导了对新兴主题和定量数据的分析。结果表明，至关重要的是，儿童福利机构必须培养组织文化和支持氛围，并且某些具有内在动力的儿童福利工作者很可能会离开。
