Opis

This study sought to examine the teacher mobility in the public secondary schools of the province of Uíge, trying to identify the variables that motivate the decision to move from a school or location to another. The main component of analysis was a three dimension construct consisting of the personal characteristics of the teachers, the school and the working conditions with the inclusion of the salary in the last dimension as an economic variable. The results showed that there is some difference between the variances in the three models. The results also showed that the third model explains better the mobility of teachers than the other two models; the model explained better the variation in the mobility of teachers and correctly classified most of the cases. As a consequence of the results determined, this study suggests the importance of further quantitative and qualitative studies using mixed or separate models and methods to identify more factors that favor the mobility trend of teachers. The study also suggests a joint work between government structures and/or bodies able to help reduce teacher dissatisfaction.
