The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between engineering faculties' perception of the diversity climate and their turnover intentions at R1 (Research 1) universities across the U.S. We sampled 1,101 tenure-track engineering faculty for this purpose. Data analysis showed that an engineering faculty's demographic characteristics…

Research suggests that longer commute times may increase employee turnover probabilities by increasing stress and reducing job attachment and embeddedness. Using administrative data from a midsized urban school district, we test whether teachers with longer commute times are more likely to transfer schools or exit the district. Both descriptively…

Research on teacher staffing and turnover problems consistently highlight two subsets of schools as struggling to attract and retain well-credentialed,…
