Help Others and Achieve Oneself:The Promoting Effect of Generativity on Work Engagement of Rural Teachers
Rural teachers take the important mission of revitalizing rural education.However,due to the high proportion of left-behind children in rural schools and the difficulties in home-school communication,they have to devote lots of time and energy,which leads to a decrease in work motivation and an inability to work with sustained efficiency.Based on the job de-mands-resources model,this study explores the mechanism of the impact of generativity on teachers'work engagement from the perspective of teachers'internal resources and develops an intervention method combining psychological group counse-ling with life story narrative writing.The results of Study 1 show that generativity has a significant positive predictive effect on teachers'work engagement,and teachers'self-efficacy plays a partial mediating role between generativity and teachers'work engagement.The results of Study 2 show that the intervention plan for generativity is effective,and the intervention effect is relatively long-lasting and reliable.
