“…Various attrition estimates suggest that 20% to 50% of new teachers in the United States leave the profession within their first five years of service; with approximately 10% of all teachers leaving the profession each year [2][3][4]. Currently, few teachers stay in the profession until retirement [5]. Complicating the issue is the fact that student enrollments continue to increase and the number of individuals entering the teaching profession has decreased [6] As a result, many researchers anticipate that the teacher shortage in the United States will continue for some time [7,8].…”

et al. 2019

This study examines factors that influence high school students’ willingness to consider teaching as a career. Using predictive modeling, we identified five factors that are highly predictive of a students’ willingness to consider teaching and their belief that teaching is their best career option. Results indicated that high school students were more likely to consider teaching when they had confidence in their ability to be good teachers, when family members and others encouraged them to become teachers, and when they felt their community supported teachers. Most of those who considered teaching thought of themselves as average students. Less impactful factors included gender and pay. Additionally, this study found students less likely to consider work conditions for teachers when making career choices.

“…In fact, a certain amount of turnover is even healthy [9]. However, the current dynamic goes far beyond what might be considered "normal" levels of attrition [3,5]. High levels of teacher turnover are harmful for schools and students [9].…”

“…Participating districts then sent email invitations containing a survey link to parents, current teachers, and principals and assistant principals. Since perceptions can differ by location [4,5], efforts were made to ensure that the final sample included school districts representing urban, suburban, and rural areas, as well as school districts representing a geographic cross section of the state in which the study took place.…”

Teacher Attrition: Differences in Stakeholder Perceptions of Teacher Work Conditions

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The purpose of this study was to identify differences in perceptions between three stakeholder groups—principals, K-12 teachers, and parents—regarding the effect of workplace conditions on teacher attrition. All three groups agreed that workplace conditions are important, but they disagreed about (a) which workplace conditions are most problematic for teachers, (b) the magnitude of these problems, and (c) the degree to which these problems may contribute to teachers leaving. The greatest disagreements occurred in perceptions of (a) teachers’ involvement in decision-making, (b) protection of teacher preparation time, (c) administration’s management of student discipline, (d) adequacy of resource availability, (e) the degree to which a trusting and supportive school environment existed within the school, and (f) whether teachers’ expectations were reasonable. Overall, principals believed that work conditions are relatively good for teachers, while many teachers disagreed with these perceptions.

“…All the research studies, in one way or another, are related to satisfaction. The present research study will work along the same lines as those which reduce these theories to two macro‐groups related to extrinsic and intrinsic factors, both shaping the construct of satisfaction and its relation to motivation (Pan et al ., ; Lindqvist & Nordanger, ; Glazer, ).…”

Recent reports confirm that the European Higher Education Area is conditioning the satisfaction of Spanish faculty members, resulting in a greater number of early retirements. The present study, framed within the context of the research, development and innovation project 'Fuga de Talentos: Un estudio sobre los motivos que han condicionado a profesores universitarios con experiencia a abandonar la profesi on docente. Diseño de una propuesta (EDU2012-37068)', intends to understand the factors that influence their decision to retire early. This study is based on the mixed sequential explanatory strategy, using logistic regression analysis techniques with a sample of 311 faculty members. The results showed differences in the factors that influence the decision-making of active faculty members who are near (aged 51-60) or approaching (aged 61-65) retirement. Their professional satisfaction, feelings and the reasons for retiring influence their decision about retiring, explaining the culture of early retirement and the loss of human capital in Spanish universities. Highlights• To retire early is not only an individual decision, but the sum of contextual factors. • The factors analysed have an influence in different degrees, depending on the nearness to retirement.• The factors that influence the retirement decision are different for those near or approaching retirement.• Faculty members show different feelings as their time for retirement comes near.• Faculty members think about retiring early due to work factors. Presentation and rationale of the problemIn Spanish public universities, teaching and research staff carry out their professional activities as civil or non-civil servants, accessed through specific selection processes for each of these two labour regimes (according to Organic Law 4/
