The Positive Impact of Master-Apprentice System on the Alleviation of Occupational Burnout among Senior Teachers in Higher Vocational Education Institutions
Despite the fact that senior teachers are the backbone of teaching force in China's higher vocational education institutions,their occupational burnout has become an important factor hindering their efforts to further promote the high-quality development of higher vocational education.Based on social exchange theory,this study conducts a 5-day simulated mentoring experiment with 99 pairs of senior and young teachers in China's higher vocational education institutions.The results are summarized as follows:(1)there is a bidirectional gain mechanism between master and apprentice in the mentoring system;(2)the master-apprentice system can intervene in the growth of occupational burnout among senior teachers through the path of knowledge restructuring,and the effectiveness of guidance can significantly regulate this effect.Through fsQCA analysis,two solutions based on the master-apprentice system,namely"professional capital-oriented"solution and"psychological capital-oriented"solution,are proposed to alleviate the occupational burnout of senior teachers.Based on the research findings,it is suggested that relevant vocational colleges should increase the investment of resources in the master-apprentice system and provide certain institutional flexibility to fully mobilize the professional enthusiasm of senior teachers,so as to solve their"lying flat"problem at the root.
