Abstract: | By surveying 328 rural kindergarten teachers with Perceived Stress Scale, Organizational Commitment Scale, Psychological Capital Scale, Turnover Intention Scale, this study explores mechanism of work pressure on turnover intention of rural kindergarten teachers. The results show that job stress is negatively correlated with organizational commitment and psychological capital, positively correlated with turnover intention; organizational commitment is positively correlated with psychological capital, negatively correlated with turnover intention; psychological capital is negatively correlated with turnover intention. Organizational commitment plays a full mediating role between pressure perception and turnover intention, which is regulated by psychological capital. That is to say, the mediating effect of organizational commitment occurs in teachers with low level of psychological capital, while it is not significant in teachers with high level of psychological capital. Finally, this study puts forward some specific suggestions to reduce the turnover intention of rural kindergarten teachers from three aspects: reducing work pressure, improving organizational commitment, and developing psychological capital. |
