Abstract: Data from research conducted by the Department of Education, Queensland, shows that over 90% of the state's teachers support an entirely voluntary system of transfer, 68% favor obligatory transfer for positions that cannot be filled by volunteers, and 45% support a completely compulsory scheme of teacher transfer. A sample of 957 teachers were questioned on (1) alternative systems of transfer, (2) factors influencing the choice of teaching site, (3) factors exempting a teacher from remote area service, (4) incentives that might attract teachers to unpopular service areas. Factors influencing teachers in their choice of assignment site were the availability of educational facilities for their children, employment or tertiary education for children, cost of living, employment for spouse, proximity to friends and family, cultural and professional facilities. Listed as exemption factors were ill health, sole support of parent, university attendance, education needs of teacher's children, and marriage of female teachers. Incentives thought influential were salary loading, housing, long service leave, travel, and family education concessions. (MB)
