The primary focus of the study examines turnover and retention \ndecisions among frontline workers. FSPSF project staff recruited all Child Protective \nInvestigators and Dependency Case Managers in pre-service training between Sept. 1, 2015 and \nDecember 31, 2016 and 84% of eligible participants provided consent and baseline information \n(N = 1,500). Participants were followed during the study timeframe even if they left their child \nwelfare positions. Workers were surveyed every six months for approximately 3.5 years \nfocusing on individual, occupational, and organizational influences on child welfare employee \nretention. \nThis statewide study examined worker personal characteristics (e.g., educational background, \nfamily history, self-esteem, etc.) worker experiences and responses (e.g., stress and burnout, \nwork/family balance, social support, and coping, etc.), and organizational influences (e.g., \norganizational climate, supervisory practices, and caseload responsibilities etc.). Respondents \nwere surveyed every 6-7 months with a core instrument and three in-depth substantive modules \nthat were rotated during the data collection period. Modules included a focus on \n(1) supervision and organizational functioning (assessed at waves 2, 5, and 8); \n(2) work/family life balance (assessed at waves 3, 6 and 8); and \n(3) mental health (assessed at waves 4 and 7). \nOverall, 100% of child welfare administrative units across the state of Florida agreed to be part \nof the study. Individual response rates for each wave were also very high. Across all waves of \ndata collection, response rates averaged 81% and ranged from 77% to 87%, and 62% (n = 929) \nof participants responded at every wave of data collection.\n\n\nDocumentation for the data includes:\n\nInvestigators: Dina J.
