Abstract

This study used a questionnaire survey method to investigate the relationship between teacher’s professional identity and job satisfaction, the impact of teacher’s professional identity on job engagement, and the mediating role of job engagement between teacher’s professional identity and job satisfaction among 404 teachers from the three universities in Hainan Province. The research results showed that the professional identity of university teachers in Hainan Province significantly positive impacts job satisfaction. The work engagement of university teachers in Hainan Province, China, significantly positive impacts job satisfaction. The work engagement of university teachers in Hainan Province partially mediates the impact of teacher’s professional identity on job satisfaction.
