Research on turnover in academia suggests faculty primarily resign to obtain higher salaries and for personal reasons; however, the samples of most such studies have been from research institutions. Correlates were examined for turnover intentions among 190 faculty members at a university that emphasized teaching. Although current turnover intention was low, seven measures of satisfaction explained 31.5% of the variability in turnover intent, and satisfaction with pay, work itself, and teaching/service load together explained 26% of the variance. Findings support the hypothesis that salary is an important element in explaining turnover consideration at teaching institutions. Although satisfaction with collegial relations was related significantly to turnover intent, it was not as important as some of the other characteristics.
学术界关于人员流动的研究表明，教师主要因获得更高薪水和个人原因而辞职；然而，大多数此类研究的样本都来自研究机构。对一所强调教学的大学的190名教师的离职意向相关因素进行了考察。尽管目前的离职意向较低，但七项满意度指标解释了离职意向中31.5%的变异性，而对薪酬、工作本身以及教学/服务负荷的满意度共同解释了26%的方差。研究结果支持了这样一个假设，即薪资是解释教学机构人员流动考量的一个重要因素。尽管对同事关系的满意度与离职意向显著相关，但它不如其他一些特征重要。
