Abstract

ABSTRACT In this study, we seek to explore the demographic features of the frontline residential workforce (especially during the COVID-19 pandemic) and the potential impact of different funding models on the retention of residential care staff. More specifically, we compare the effects of a per-diem funding model and a budget-based funding model on the turnover rates of frontline child-care staff members at The Children’s Village, a large child welfare agency in Dobbs Ferry, NY, USA. This study includes analysis of employee data from two cohorts over a period of five years (2017- 2021), with an average annual point in time cohort of 1,263 employees over the five year sample period. Using descriptive analyses, we find the following: (1) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is visible in several key ways; (2) the budget-based programs showed a higher median length of stay, but a lower average and (3) turnover in per diem programs was higher than in budget-based programs in four out of five years, and overall across the five-year sample. We offer possible reasons for our findings, relevant implications, and areas for future research.

资助前线：资助模式对寄宿儿童保育员留用影响的比较

摘要在本研究中，我们试图探索一线住院员工的人口统计特征（尤其是在新冠肺炎大流行期间），以及不同资助模式对住院护理人员留用的潜在影响。更具体地说，我们比较了每日津贴资助模式和基于预算的资助模式对美国纽约州多布斯费里的大型儿童福利机构儿童村一线儿童保育人员流动率的影响，在五年的样本期内，平均每年有1263名员工。通过描述性分析，我们发现：（1）新冠肺炎大流行的影响在几个关键方面是可见的；（2）基于预算的项目显示出较高的中位停留时间，但平均停留时间较低。（3）在五年中的四年中，以及整个五年样本中，每日津贴项目的营业额高于基于预算的计划。我们为我们的发现提供了可能的原因、相关影响以及未来研究的领域。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
