  • Title: Compensation and turnover of direct-care staff in developmental disabilities residential facilities in the United States. II: Turnover.
    Author: Mitchell D, Braddock D.
    Journal: Ment Retard; 1994 Feb; 32(1):34-42. PubMed ID: 8177033.
    Abstract:
    A representative sample of more than 1,600 residential facilities nationwide was surveyed. Direct-care staff turnover was significantly higher in privately operated community facilities than in public institutions. Turnover was generally higher in private than in publicly operated community facilities. The most consistent correlate of turnover for all types of facilities was wages. Intra- and extra-organizational factors made unique contributions in predicting turnover.
