Dropouts and Turnover: The Synthesis and Test of a Causal Model of Student Attrition.
Bean, John P.
Research in Higher Education, v12 n2 p155-87 1980
The determinants of student attrition in higher education institutions are investigated using a causal model which synthesized research findings on job turnover and on student attrition. Many male/female differences were found but three surrogate measures for pay were found for both sexes to be related to intent to leave. (Author/LC)
