Abstract：
Improving the job satisfaction of vocational education teachers (VET) is necessary for maintaining the stability of the vocational education teaching force and is an essential support for enhancing the professional attractiveness and ensuring the quality of VET. Unlike previous studies, firstly, in terms of groups, the particular group of teachers in this study focuses on VET, which in reality is often overlooked compared to other groups of teachers due to the low level of recognition of vocational education (VE) in China. Secondly, this phenomenon is more prominent and less researched regionally in economically underdeveloped areas due to the uneven and disparate economic development between the East and West of China. In terms of sample size, previous studies have lacked large samples, making it difficult to obtain convincing and realistic results. Finally, most previous studies considered teachers\' job satisfaction (TJS) in terms of external or internal factors alone. However, this study considers a combination of the external factor of the school climate (SC) in which VET works and the internal factor of teachers\' self-efficacy (TSE) to explore the relationship with TJS and its impact. Based on data from a survey of 1035 teachers in China, a structural equation model estimation method was used to explore and analyze the impact of SC and TSE on their TJS and the specific role of the relationship. The research found that VET-perceived SC is positively predicting TJS; VET-perceived SC is positively predicting TSE; TSE is positively predicting TJS; TSE significantly mediates the relationship between SC and TJS. This study provides a theoretical perspective that integrates the external organizational influences of SC and introduces the internal psychological factor of TSE as a mediating variable to understand TJS. In practice, it helps raise the importance of VET and provides empirical data and intellectual support to the relevant government departments in improving TJS.
摘要：
提高职业教育教师的工作满意度是维持职业教育师资队伍稳定的必要条件,是增强职业吸引力、保证职业教育质量的重要支撑。与以往的研究不同,首先,在群体方面,这项研究中的特定教师群体侧重于VET，由于我国对职业教育的认可度较低，因此与其他教师群体相比，现实中往往被忽视。其次,由于中国东西部经济发展的不平衡和差异，这种现象在经济欠发达地区更为突出，区域研究较少。就样本量而言，以前的研究缺乏大量样本，使其难以获得令人信服和现实的结果。最后,以前的大多数研究仅从外部或内部因素考虑教师的工作满意度(TJS)。然而,本研究考虑了VET工作的学校氛围（SC）的外部因素和教师自我效能感（TSE）的内部因素，以探讨与TJS的关系及其影响。基于对中国1035名教师的调查数据，采用结构方程模型估计方法,探讨和分析SC和TSE对其TJS的影响及关系的具体作用。研究发现，VET感知的SC正预测TJS；VET感知的SC正预测TSE；TSE正预测TJS；TSE显着介导SC和TJS之间的关系。本研究提供了一个理论视角，整合了SC的外部组织影响因素，并引入了TSE的内部心理因素作为中介变量来理解TJS。在实践中,它有助于提高VET的重要性，并为相关政府部门改善TJS提供经验数据和智力支持。
