Teacher makes difference and this is where excellent teachers come to the fore. The cultivation of high quality teachers and gaining teaching expertise is a task of top priority.
The study with 1123 teachers from China aimed to examine the effect of organizational innovation climate (OIC), principal instructional leadership (PIL) and job engagement (JE) on teaching expertise (TE), to gain insight in the development of expert teacher. The results point out that: Positive organizational innovation climate and principal learning leadership tend to enhance teacher motivation and promote their teaching expertise development. Taken together, our study integrates theorizing on OIC, PIL and TE by corroborating that job engagement is central mechanism behind OIC and PIL.
