Factors affecting turnover rates of public child welfare front line workers: comparing cohorts of title IV-E program graduates with regularly hired and trained staff

ABSTRACT

The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of a statewide intervention (BSW level Title IV-E Program) on both the workers’ intent to leave the job and their actual exit from a state administered public child welfare agency. Employees completed an extensive survey including scales assessing individual, team, and organizational variables that might impact turnover. Results show that more Title IV-E graduates stay with the agency than do regular hires and leave at a slower rate. Different variables impact intent to leave compared to actual exit and vary across type of employee. Implications for the workforce are discussed.     

The Special 'One'

One seemingly trivial issue has vexed Liu Wenyan for over 30 years. Liu only needs one shoe, but every time she goes shoe shopping she has to buy a pair. Growing up in Guizhou Province in southwest China, Liu lost one leg in a traffic accident at the age of 4. Now aged 37, she has spent over three decades searching for either a seller of single shoes, or some-one else with whom she can share the pair. Paralympic high jump star Gui Yuna, who is the same age as Liu, faces the same problem. Gui comes from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and, at 7, also lost her leg in a car ac-cident. The accident didn't discourage her from pursuing her athletic passion and in 2007 she broke the high jump world record for women amputees at China's 2007 National Games for Persons With Disabilities. One year later, she acted as a torchbearer for the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic Games. Despite her success, Gui is still bothered by the shoe problem.

“中国式”长假的法律治理路径研究——以落实带薪年休假为视角

以“堵”为特色的“中国式”长假近年来被社会持续关注.在法定假日不可能大幅度增加的背景下,能够分散游客,缓解拥堵的唯一途径只能是增加职工可自主支配的假期,也即职工带薪休假制度.虽然带薪休假早已是我国的一项法定制度,但由于具体制度的立法层次低,监督部门的柔性执法,以及违法成本较低,使得用人单位频频触碰红线.因此有必要在分析我国带薪年休假执行不力原因的基础上,探索落实该制度的具体措施,从而治理长假的拥堵之困.
