Ensuring the stability of teachers is a crucial task in developing early care education; thus, reducing the turnover rate of kindergarten teachers is the core priority. This research explores the correlation of four antecedents with teachers' turnover intentions: occupational commitment, psychological resilience, job satisfaction, and burnout. This study utilized a stratified sampling methodology based on regional GDP levels and implemented a hybrid data collection approach combining online and offline questionnaire distribution to ensure comprehensive representation across socioeconomic contexts. Taking the collected data from 920 kindergarten teachers in the rural area of Hebei Province, China as the research object, the research presents the following findings: (i) nearly 60% of kindergarten teachers prefer to Move rather than Leave when having turnover intentions; (ii) the improvement of psychological resilience and working conditions could effectively mitigate the decision of kindergarten teachers to leave entirely; (iii) teachers with no turnover intentions are more concerned about intrinsic motivation, but there is a risk of "false retention"; (iv) job satisfaction has the most substantial impact on kindergarten teachers' turnover intentions, but the performance is relatively poor; (v) risk and protective factors synergistically affect teachers' turnover intentions.
确保教师队伍稳定是发展早期护理教育的一项关键任务；因此，降低幼儿园教师的离职率是核心要务。本研究探讨了职业承诺、心理韧性、工作满意度和职业倦怠这四个先行因素与教师离职意愿之间的相关性。本研究采用了基于地区GDP水平的分层抽样方法，并实施了线上和线下问卷发放相结合的混合数据收集方法，以确保涵盖社会经济背景的全面代表性。以从中国河北省农村地区920名幼儿园教师收集的数据为研究对象，研究得出以下结果：（i）近60%有离职意愿的幼儿园教师更倾向于“流动”而非“离职”；（ii）心理韧性和工作条件的改善可以有效缓解幼儿园教师完全离职的决定；（iii）没有离职意愿的教师更关注内在动机，但存在“虚假留任”的风险；（iv）工作满意度对幼儿园教师的离职意愿影响最大，但表现相对较差；（v）风险因素和保护因素协同影响教师的离职意愿。
