The Service Ethic and Teaching.
Miech, Richard Allen; Elder, Glen H. Jr.
Sociology of Education, v69 n3 p237-253 Jul 1996
Investigates and compares the effects of motivation for service on persistence in teaching among teachers in the 1960s and 1970s. With the exception of women in the 1960s (when few alternative careers were available), frustration among service-oriented teachers led to low levels of teacher persistence. (MJP)
