Abstract:
This study determined the relationship among Chinese university teacher turnover intentions, satisfaction, and quality. As for the turnover intention, in this regard, the most important things for university teachers are job feeling, turnover tendency, institutional characteristics and working conditions. What needs to be noted here is that, according to the results of data analysis, female teachers pay more attention to work feelings and working conditions. They are more eager to get a sense of comfort, satisfaction and achievement at work to show their professional image in order to balance work and life. Next, it studied teachers’ job satisfaction and the degree of attention of university teachers is in the following order: career development, workload, fringe benefits, interpersonal relationship and university management. Furthermore, in terms of teachers’ quality, the content of this analysis includes teacher features, teaching abilities, teaching methods and teaching attitudes. All the four subdomains have the different level of assessment. Generally, due to the respondent’s differences in sex, age, highest educational attainment and years in service, Chinese university teachers’ turnover intention, satisfaction and quality have been influenced to some extent. There were significant differences in responses on the three variables when grouped according to sex. Meanwhile, the research investigated the relationship between Chinese college teachers’ turnover intention, satisfaction and quality, which were verified to be all highly significant. Finally, based on the above research conclusions, I put forward a program for the professional development of Chinese university teachers. It is hoped that this study can help more Chinese universities to strengthen the construction of teaching staff and promote the professional development of university teachers to a great extent.
