Abstract
Teachers’ turnover intention refers to the conscious and deliberate consideration of leaving the teaching profession, often precipitated by persistent dissatisfaction with workplace conditions, emotional strain, or perceived lack of career fulfillment. In recent years, the high turnover rate of kindergarten teachers has received continuous attention from the public and scholars. However, little research has been conducted to examine the affecting factors of teachers’ turnover intention in Heyue Kindergarten. To fill this gap, this study conducted a questionnaire survey to investigate the effects of job satisfaction, perceived social support, and job burnout on turnover intention.
This study was a quantitative study. Participants of this study were 32 teachers who have a job in Heyue Kindergarten (28 females, 4 males). Validated scales were used to measure participants’ job satisfaction, perceived social support, and job burnout. Three linear regression equations were conducted to examine the effects of the three factors on teachers’ turnover intention. The results showed that, both job satisfaction and perceived social support had a significantly negative prediction on turnover intention. In contrast, job burnout had a significantly positive prediction on turnover intention.
This study holds significant implications for early childhood education by examining how job satisfaction, perceived social support, and burnout affect kindergarten teachers’ turnover intention. According to the results of this study, to increase the retention rate and mental health of kindergarten teachers, policy makers should take feasible measures to increase teachers’ job satisfaction and social support perception. Meanwhile, they should take all measures to prevent teachers from experiencing job burnout.
Keywords: kindergarten teachers, turnover intention, perceived social support, job burnout, job satisfaction
