Abstract

This study investigates the impact of frontloading salary structures (higher early-career salaries) on teacher turnover using data from South Carolina public school districts in the U.S. from FY2014- FY2023. Employing a Difference-in-Differences (DID) model, the analysis reveals that frontloading salary schedules is associated with lower turnover among novice teachers but have a less pronounced effect on seasoned educators. The study highlights that the impact of frontloading varies by district demographics and teacher qualifications. Results indicate that higher experience premiums for early-career teachers can increase turnover when compared to mid-career premiums, suggesting a need for balanced salary structures, targeted financial incentives.

平衡尺度：调查前置和后置工资结构对教师流失的影响

本研究利用美国南卡罗来纳州公立学区 2014 财年至 2023 财年的数据，调查了前置薪资结构（较高的早期职业薪资）对教师流失率的影响。研究采用差分模型（DID）进行分析，结果表明，前置薪资结构降低了新手教师的离职率，但对经验丰富的教育工作者的影响并不明显。研究强调，前置薪资的影响因地区人口统计和教师资格而异。研究结果表明，与职业生涯中期的溢价相比，职业生涯初期教师较高的经验溢价会增加教师的流失率，这表明有必要建立平衡的薪酬结构和有针对性的经济激励措施。
