Abstract
To explore the relationship between middle school teachers' sense of organizational support and teachers' work engagement, this study used the Teacher Organizational Support Scale, the Teacher Work Engagement Scale, the Teacher Organizational Commitment Scale, and the Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale. This study used field questionnaires to survey 604 teachers in ten public junior high schools and obtained 576 valid questionnaires. And, this study used SPSS22.0 software to analyze the survey data.
The following conclusions were obtained from the study: (1) Middle school teachers' organizational support positively affects teachers' job engagement, teachers' organizational commitment, and teachers' self-efficacy. (2) Teacher job dedication positively influenced teacher organizational commitment and teacher self-efficacy. (3) Teacher organizational commitment and teacher self-efficacy played parallel mediating roles in the relationship between middle school teachers' organizational support and teachers' job engagement.
This study explored the effects of middle school teachers' sense of organizational support on teachers' job engagement. The author provides corresponding countermeasure suggestions to the findings of the study at the government, school, and individual teacher levels, respectively, in order to improve middle school teachers' sense of organizational support and teacher engagement. This provides practical guidance for developing middle school teachers' job engagement.
