Abstract

This study investigated the influence mechanisms of job crafting on teaching and research engagement of county teachers among 698 teachers from compulsory schools in J county in western China. The main findings of the study are: (1) there are significant positive correlations among the variables; (2) teacher’s job crafting predicts teachers’ involvement in teaching and research through the incomplete chain mediating effect of professional identity and job satisfaction. In the adjustment of their own behavior and cognition, teachers can meet their needs, explore the sense of meaning, and generate higher professional identity and satisfaction, which will promote teachers to accept new work challenges.
