Abstract

Background: Engaged teachers experience a positive, fulfilling, and work-related state of mind related to their work tasks able to affect their well-being positively. Nevertheless, teachers are particularly exposed to burnout risk, which is highly probable to occur during teachers' professional careers. The current study investigates the mediating effect of burnout, through which work engagement influences subjective well-being.

Methods: Participants were 807 Italian teachers (Female, 91.7%; M_age = 47.54; SD = 9.91). Self-report instruments were administered to evaluate teachers' burnout (BAT, Burnout Assessment Tool), well-being (WHO-5 Well-being Index), and work engagement (UWES-3, Utrecht Work Engagement Scale).

Results: Findings show that exhaustion (β = -0.2162, p < 0.001) and psychological distress (β = -0.2811, p < 0.001) mediate the relationship between work engagement and well-being (total effect, β = 0.6409, p < 0.001).

Conclusions: These results enable us to gain a deeper understanding of how the phenomenon of burnout impacts teachers' well-being, allowing us to design training, prevention, and evaluation programs that consider the complex nature of burnout.

敬业教师与幸福感：倦怠维度的中介作用。

背景：敬业教师体验到一种积极的、充实的、与工作相关的心态，这种心态与他们的工作任务相关，能够积极地影响他们的幸福感。然而，教师在职业生涯中极易出现职业倦怠风险。本研究考察了职业倦怠的中介作用，即工作投入对主观幸福感的影响。方法：807名意大利语教师(女性占91.7%；法师= 47.54；sd = 9.91)。采用自我报告工具评估教师的职业倦怠（BAT，职业倦怠评估工具）、幸福感（WHO-5幸福感指数）和工作敬业度（UWES-3，乌得勒支工作敬业度量表）。结果：精疲力竭（β = -0.2162, p β = -0.2811, p β = 0.6409, p）。结论：这些结果使我们能够更深入地了解倦怠现象如何影响教师的幸福感，从而使我们能够设计考虑到倦怠复杂性的培训，预防和评估方案。
