Abstract
Attitudes and behaviors towards work enable teachers to perform organizational roles willingly in the educational process. Teachers who do their jobs with great enthusiasm, passion, and commitment are influential in increasing student success. For this reason, there is a need to investigate the individual and organizational factors that play a role in teachers’ work engagement. Previous research has shown that collective teacher efficacy is one of the critical factors that play a role in teachers’ work engagement. However, researchers need to sufficiently focus on the holistic effects of collective teacher efficacy, organizational commitment, and work engagement in teacher research. This research aims to investigate a newly developed model that explores the direct and indirect links among collective teacher efficacy, organizational commitment, and work engagement. The study involves 414 teachers working in state primary schools in 12 regions of Türkiye. A mediation analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling to assess the accuracy of the proposed model in this study. The results of the analysis demonstrate that organizational commitment is essential in mediating the relationship between collective teacher efficacy and work engagement. This study contributes significantly to the existing literature by offering valuable insights into the influence of collective teacher efficacy on work engagement among teachers in Türkiye. Specifically, it presents crucial findings regarding the impact of collective teacher efficacy on organizational commitment, highlighting the mediating role of this construct in the relationship between collective teacher efficacy and work engagement.
期刊介绍：
The field of social psychology spans the boundary between the disciplines of psychology and sociology and has traditionally been associated with empirical research. Many studies of human behaviour in education are conducted by persons who identify with social psychology or whose work falls into the social psychological ambit. Several textbooks have been published and a variety of courses are being offered on the `social psychology of education'', but no journal has hitherto appeared to cover the field. Social Psychology of Education fills this gap, covering a wide variety of content concerns, theoretical interests and research methods, among which are: Content concerns: classroom instruction decision making in education educational innovation concerns for gender, race, ethnicity and social class knowledge creation, transmission and effects leadership in schools and school systems long-term effects of instructional processes micropolitics of schools student cultures and interactions teacher recruitment and careers teacher- student relations Theoretical interests: achievement motivation attitude theory attribution theory conflict management and the learning of pro-social behaviour cultural and social capital discourse analysis group dynamics role theory social exchange theory social transition social learning theory status attainment symbolic interaction the study of organisations Research methods: comparative research experiments formal observations historical studies literature reviews panel studies qualitative methods sample surveys For social psychologists with a special interest in educational matters, educational researchers with a social psychological approach.
