The relationship between professional identity and work engagement of junior middle school teachers:The role of self-efficacy and teacher metacognition
A questionnaire survey was conducted to explore the relationship between professional identity and work engagement of junior middle school teachers,as well as the role of self-efficacy and teacher metacognition in it.The results showed that there was significant and positive correlation among profession-al identity,work engagement,self-efficacy and metacognition.In addition,self-efficacy played a part of mediating role on the relationship between professional identity and work engagement.And teachers metacognition moderated the mediating effect.Compared with teachers who had lower levels of metacogni-tion,the effect size of the mediating effect of teachers who had higher levels of metacognition increased significantly.Excluding teacher metacognitive experience,the moderating effects of other dimensions of teacher's metacognition reached the significant or marginal significant levels.To promote the work engage-ment of junior middle school teachers,it is necessary to improve the levels of teachers'professional iden-tity,as well as enhance teachers'self-efficacy and cultivate their metacognitive abilities.
