Abstract [sv]

Många utbildade förskollärare arbetar idag inom andra yrken och en brist på förskollärare förutspås av fackförbundet Sveriges lärare. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det fanns ett samband mellan medarbetarnas skattning av styrkan i det psykologiska kontraktet samt sektorstillhörighet och medarbetarnas avsikt att lämna en tillsvidareanställning som förskollärare. En digital enkät användes där frågorna baserades på en svensk översättning av PSYCONES- projektets mätinstrument samt en svensk översättning av Intention to quit scale. Enkäten besvarades av 65 deltagare som tagit del av den via sociala medier eller genom att de tilldelats en länk via sin chef. En multipel regressionsanalys visade att hur väl det psykologiska kontraktet uppfylldes signifikant kunde predicera intentionen att lämna en anställning som förskollärare.Ett t-test visade att inget stöd fanns för att sektor påverkade intentionen för förskollärare att lämna sin anställning. Resultatet överensstämmer med tidigare forskning och lyfter vikten av att vara medvetna om det psykologiska kontraktets påverkan på relationen mellan arbetsgivare och arbetstagare.   

Abstract [en]

Many educated preschool teachers today work in other professions and a shortage of preschool teachers is predicted by the union Sveriges lärare (Sweden's teachers). The purpose of the study was to examine whether there was a relationship between the employees' estimation of the strength of the psychological contract as well as sector affiliation and the employee's intention to leave a permanent employment as a preschool teacher. A digital survey was used where the questions were based on a Swedish translation of the PSYCONES project's measuring instrument and a Swedish translation of the Intention to quit scale. The survey was answered by 65 participants who took part in it through social medias or by being assigned a link from their manager. A multiple regression analysis showed that how well the psychological contract was fulfilled could significantly predict the intention to leave a job as a preschool teacher. A t-test showed that there was no evidence that sector would affect preschool teachers’ intentions to leave the profession. The result is consistent with previous research and highlights the importance of being aware of the impact of the psychological contract on the relationship between employer and employee.
