Teachers play an important role in the educational system. Teacher self-efficacy, job satisfaction, school climate, and workplace well-being and stress are four individual characteristics shown to be associated with tendency to turnover. In this article, data from the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) 2018 teacher questionnaire are analyzed, with the goal to understand the interplay amongst these four individual characteristics. The main purposes of this study are to (1) measure extreme response style for each scale using unidimensional nominal response models, and (2) investigate the kernel causal paths among teacher self-efficacy, job satisfaction, school climate, and workplace well-being and stress in the TALIS-PISA linked countries/economies. Our findings support the existence of extreme response style, the rational non-normal distribution assumption of latent traits, and the feasibility of kernel causal inference in the educational sector. Results of the present study inform the development of future correlational research and policy making in education.
教师在教育系统中发挥着重要作用。教师自我效能感、工作满意度、学校氛围以及工作场所的幸福感和压力是与离职倾向相关的四个个体特征。在本文中，对2018年国际教学调查（TALIS）教师问卷的数据进行了分析，目的是了解这四个个体特征之间的相互作用。本研究的主要目的是：（1）使用单维名义反应模型测量每个量表的极端反应风格；（2）调查TALIS - PISA关联国家/经济体中教师自我效能感、工作满意度、学校氛围以及工作场所的幸福感和压力之间的核心因果路径。我们的研究结果支持极端反应风格的存在、潜在特质的合理非正态分布假设以及教育部门中核心因果推断的可行性。本研究结果为未来教育领域的相关研究和政策制定提供了参考。
