Description
Teacher work engagement (WE) is of critical importance to teachers, organizations, and students. Perceived organizational support (POS) is a crucial predictor of workplace engagement (WE). However, previous research has yielded conflicting findings regarding the relationship between POS and WE. Notably, empirical evidence does not align with theoretical predictions, posing challenges for effectively enhancing WE and implementing targeted interventions. Network analysis offers a novel approach for examining this relationship on a more fine-grained level. This study employed cross-lagged panel network analysis (CLPN) with a sample of 1,224 teachers from various educational institutions in China to explore the directional network structure between POSs and WEs. The results indicated that POS-1_3 (“Specific Concern and Care”) exhibited the highest out-expected influence (out-EI), POS-4(“Organizational Help”) showed the highest in-expected influence (in-EI). From the perspective of cross-cluster edges, more edges originated from WE to POS than vice versa. Moreover, the strongest cross-cluster edges originate from WE-2 (Dedication). Overall, this study sheds light on the underlying mechanisms of the reciprocal influence between teachers’ POS and WE, providing valuable insights for targeted interventions aimed at enhancing teachers' work engagement and perceived organizational support.| Periode | 26 mei 2025 |
