Professional Satisfaction and Commitment of Primary School Teachers in China

Abstract

Two critical elements that influence the effectiveness of instruction and the general wellbeing of Chinese primary school teachers are professional dedication and satisfaction. The degree to which instructors are vested in their work and identify with the teaching profession is referred to as professional commitment. How satisfied teachers are with their work is referred to as satisfaction. In the study of Wang H. et al. entitled exploring teachers job satisfaction in Rural China 2022, they found an alarming highly prevalence of dissatisfaction in rural China roughly 21% of rural teachers were less than satisfied with their job hence there is a need for further research and policy intervention to improve teacher job satisfaction in rural schools. On the other hand engagement in one’s career and satisfaction are closely related. Teachers who put more effort into their profession are also more likely to be happy in their positions. This is so because dedication increases a teacher’s sense of purpose and pleasure in their work.
