Types of Vocational Personality in Primary and Secondary School Teachers:A Latent Profile Analysis
The main purpose of our study was to explore latent types of vocational personality in primary and secondary school teachers.With a cluster sampling,a total of 828 primary and secondary school teachers were recruited,and measured with the Teacher Vocational Personality Questionnaire.The results from latent profile analysis(LPA)showed that there were three potential types of vocational personality(novice,skilled and expert)in primary and secondary school teachers,which were consistent with the three stages of teachers'career development and professional growth;gender,job title and school organizational climate had significant effects on the potential types of vocational personality,and the potential types of vocational personality had significant effects on burnout and work engagement.Classification guidance for teachers'vocational personality should be strengthened to prevent burnout and promote teachers'career development and professional growth.
