Retaining teachers: does enriching teachers' jobs contribute? A two-wave study
基于两波调查数据,研究通过工作丰富化提升教师积极幸福感(如工作投入、满意度)来降低离职意向,但对消极幸福感(如工作狂)影响有限,为缓解教师短缺提供实证依据。
This article uses the mutual gains and the conflicting outcomes theories to better understand how job enrichment, mediated by positive and negative well-being aspects (i.e. engagement, job satisfaction, workaholism and burnout), relates to the turnover intention of teachers. A two-wave study (N = 637) among primary and secondary school teachers shows that investing in job enrichment activities can reduce turnover intention through positive well-being outcomes. However, no support was found for the conflicting outcome theory as job enrichment influences only workaholism directly, with no relationship with turnover intention. As such, this empirical study demonstrates that implementing job enrichment activities can effectively lower teachers' turnover intentions, thereby contributing to reducing the teacher shortages.
