How Different Types of Resources Influence Teacher Engagement:A Cross-Level Empirical Analysis Based on a National Survey of University Teachers
In order to promote faculties'teaching engagement,governments and universities have invested many resources,but the substantive impacts of them remains to be evaluated.Based on conservation of resource theory,this study explores various resources on teachers'engagement.Findings show that at the university level,library resources and subjective perception of teaching support have a positive impact on teacher engagement,with the latter having a stronger effect;being a"Double First-Class"construction university negatively affects teacher engagement;the impact of spatial and financial resources on teacher engagement is not significant.At the individual level,faculties'sense of teaching efficacy positively influences teacher engagement.Finally,at the cross-level,there is a substitution effect between college library resources and faculties'teaching self-efficacy,where library resources can more effectively compensate for low efficacy,thereby promoting greater teaching engagement.
