Abstract
This study examines the impact of Teacher Entrepreneurial Behavior (TEB) on teachers' emotions when launching new educational initiatives. Teachers (n = 303) from 10 schools in Hong Kong completed a longitudinal survey assessing TEB, teacher emotions, and duty overload at two-time points. Results indicate that TEB mediates the relationship between positive emotions and emotional climate among colleagues, while duty overload does not significantly mediate this relationship. Results suggest that fostering TEB through emotional support, reduced workload, and professional development can enhance teacher well-being and promote more effective adoption of innovation in schools.
