Though the positive association between well-being and professional identity among employees is well-document, the internal mechanism underlying this association is known little. Guided by self-determination theory (SDT) and the job demands-resources (JD-R) model, this study examined the roles of job crafting and work engagement in mediating the association between professional identity and workplace well-being. We surveyed 2090 teachers (including Primary, Middle, and High School teachers) ( age = 39.42 years; = 8.72). Teachers completed a series of questionnaires, such as the Teachers' Professional Identity Scale, Employee's Workplace Well-being Scale, Job Crafting Scale, and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. We controlled age, teaching age, and gender covariates to get conservative predictions. Multiple mediation analyses were utilized in this study to prove that: (a) professional identity was positively linked to workplace well-being; (b) both job crafting and work engagement take mediator roles in associating the relationships between professional identity and workplace well-being; and (c) a serial indirect pathway (professional identity → job crafting → work engagement → workplace well-being) emerged. These findings explore the factors that affect well-being and point to potential ways in enhancing teachers' workplace well-being even when the task is severe.
尽管员工的幸福感与职业认同感之间的正向关联已有充分记载，但这种关联背后的内在机制却鲜为人知。本研究以自我决定理论（SDT）和工作要求-资源（JD-R）模型为指导，考察了工作重塑和工作投入在职业认同感与工作场所幸福感之间的关联中所起的中介作用。我们对2090名教师（包括小学、初中和高中教师）进行了调查（年龄 = 39.42岁；标准差 = 8.72）。教师们完成了一系列问卷，如教师职业认同量表、员工工作场所幸福感量表、工作重塑量表和乌得勒支工作投入量表。我们控制了年龄、教龄和性别协变量以获得保守的预测结果。本研究采用多重中介分析来证明：（a）职业认同感与工作场所幸福感呈正相关；（b）工作重塑和工作投入在职业认同感与工作场所幸福感的关系中均起中介作用；（c）出现了一条串行间接路径（职业认同感→工作重塑→工作投入→工作场所幸福感）。这些发现探索了影响幸福感的因素，并指出了即使在任务艰巨的情况下提高教师工作场所幸福感的潜在途径。
