ABSTRACT

We present a conceptual framework of teacher turnover, which is guided by the broader employee turnover literature and supported by the empirical literature. Synthesising nearly forty years of international research on teacher turnover through a systematic review process, we organise the determinants of teacher turnover into nine categories grouped into personal correlates, school correlates, and external correlates. External correlates are defined as factors that are outside the individual or the workplace such as the general unemployment rate or union presence. For each category, we discuss the empirical results and their implications for teacher turnover. We also highlight gaps in the empirical literature and suggest policy levers to positively influence the teacher workforce.

摘要

我们提出了一个教师流动率的概念框架，该框架以更广泛的员工流动率文献为指导，并得到实证文献的支持。通过系统回顾，我们综合了近四十年来关于教师流动的国际研究，将教师流动的决定因素分为九类，分为个人相关因素、学校相关因素和外部相关因素。外部相关因素被定义为个人或工作场所之外的因素，例如总体失业率或工会存在。对于每个类别，我们讨论了实证结果及其对教师流动率的影响。我们还强调了实证文献中的差距，并提出了积极影响教师队伍的政策杠杆。
