Cultivation of Positive Psychological Qualities among Young University Teachers under Condition of"Up-Or-Out":Mediating Role of Occupational Happiness
Driven by the construction of high-level universities,more and more universities are using the"up-or-out"system to manage and assess teachers.The"up-or-out"system has had a significant influence on universities and young teachers,and has induced turnover tendency of young teachers in some universities.It is necessary to consider the alleviating effect of the positive psychological qualities of young teachers in universities on their turnover tendency,and explore the mediating role of their occupational happiness between positive psychological qualities and turnover tendency.By adopting a quantitative analysis method,a survey was conducted on young teachers in some universities in Guangdong Province who implemented the"up-or-out"system.The results show that the positive psychological qualities of young teachers in universities are significantly negatively correlated with their turnover tendency,and significantly positively correlated with their sense of occupational happiness;the occupational happiness of young teachers in universities is significantly negatively correlated with turnover tendency,and occupational happiness partially mediates the relationship between positive psychological qualities and turnover tendency.Therefore,the positive psychological qualities of young teachers in universities not only directly influence their turnover tendency,but also have an influence on their turnover tendency through their sense of occupational happiness.In response to the situation of increase in turnover rate of young teachers in universities under the"up-or-out"system,universities should reform the evaluation standards for teacher research,highlight the quality,innovation,and contribution of academic achievements,and take various measures to enhance the positive psychological qualities and occupational happiness of young teachers.
