Exit and Voice: Labor Turnover in Child Care Centers An inquiry into the relationship between working conditions and teacher turnover in child care programs. Using a new survey and data set designed by the researcher of programs in Massachusetts, factors are examined that might be related to lower turnover. The study employs economist Albert Hirschman's theory of exit, voice and loyalty--an economic theory that predicts lower turnover at programs where workers feel they have a say, or a voice, in the operation and organization of their work lives--to see if "voice" alternatives to quitting are an effective method of reducing exits. In different institutional settings, including unionization and regional unemployment, "voice" alternatives studied include: working relationships and practices between management and labor; identified paths for promotion and compensation; and processes for making decisions and addressing grievances. |
