This study examines whether psychological capital (PsyCap) indirectly predicts occupational well-being among Chinese special education teachers through work engagement. In total, 615 Chinese special education teachers (female = 567) completed the Psychological Capital Questionnaire, the Special Education Teachers' Occupational Well-Being Questionnaire, and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. The results indicated that PsyCap was positively correlated with occupational well-being and work engagement. Furthermore, work engagement mediated the influence of PsyCap on occupational well-being. Notably, the multiple mediation model indicated that the indirect effects of PsyCap on occupational well-being were mainly due to dedication and absorption. The study's results illustrate the association between PsyCap, work engagement, and occupational well-being, which may help educational administrators and social workers assist with special education and special education teachers develop and maintain good working conditions.
本研究探讨心理资本(PsyCap)是否通过工作投入间接预测中国特殊教育教师的职业幸福感。共有615名中国特殊教育教师(女性 = 567名)完成了心理资本问卷、特殊教育教师职业幸福感问卷和乌得勒支工作投入量表。结果表明,心理资本与职业幸福感和工作投入呈正相关。此外,工作投入在心理资本对职业幸福感的影响中起中介作用。值得注意的是,多重中介模型表明,心理资本对职业幸福感的间接影响主要归因于奉献和专注。该研究结果揭示了心理资本、工作投入和职业幸福感之间的关联,这可能有助于教育管理人员和社会工作者协助特殊教育工作,并帮助特殊教育教师发展和维持良好的工作条件。
