Abstract

This study aims to explore the relationship between job well-being and turnover intention among doctoral teachers in universities. A questionnaire survey method was used to collect data from doctoral teachers in several universities in Henan Province, using the Job Well-Being Scale and the Turnover Intention Scale. The results show that job well-being is significantly negatively correlated with turnover intention, and the main factors affecting job well-being of doctoral teachers in universities are analyzed. This study provides a reference for enhancing the stability of the teaching staff in universities and optimizing talent management strategies.
