| description | This study investigates the impact of human resource practices, employee remuneration
and employee benefits on childcare teachers' intentions to stay in the Singaporean
workforce. This mixed methods study focuses on current qualified childcare teachers,
their perspectives on human resource practices, employee remuneration and employee
benefits in their workplaces and their intentions regarding whether to continue working
in the childcare sector in Singapore. In the first phase of the study, which was qualitative,
in-depth interviews were conducted with 21 current qualified childcare teachers. In the
second phase of the study, which was quantitative, 202 current qualified childcare
teachers in Singapore participated in a paper-based and web-based survey. The findings
indicate that childcare teachers in Singapore want to be rewarded with fair human
resource practices and employee wages are not the only dominant factor on the retention
of childcare teachers in the Singaporean childcare industry. This study addresses a
knowledge gap about childcare teacher retention in the childcare service industry in
Singapore. |
