To investigate the relationships between emotional resilience, grit, employability, and life satisfaction among Chinese as a Foreign Language (CFL) teachers in China, with a focus on gender differences.
A sample of 1,003 CFL teachers participated in a survey assessing emotional resilience, grit, employability, and life satisfaction. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, and mediation and moderation models with the PROCESS macro.
Emotional resilience did not have a significant direct effect on life satisfaction but showed substantial indirect effects through grit and employability. Emotional resilience positively influenced grit, which in turn enhanced employability and increased life satisfaction. Gender differences were observed grit was a more critical mediator for males, while employability was a stronger mediator for females.
The study highlights the importance of grit and employability in enhancing life satisfaction among CFL teachers. Gender-specific interventions to bolster these mediating factors are recommended to support the wellbeing and professional success of CFL teachers.
Educational institutions should develop professional development programs and support systems that foster emotional resilience, grit, and employability, with attention to gender-specific needs, to improve job satisfaction and effectiveness among CFL teachers.
探讨中国对外汉语教师的情绪恢复力、毅力、就业能力与生活满意度之间的关系，重点关注性别差异。
1003名对外汉语教师参与了一项评估情绪恢复力、毅力、就业能力和生活满意度的调查。使用描述性统计、相关性分析以及运用PROCESS宏程序的中介和调节模型对数据进行分析。
情绪恢复力对生活满意度没有显著的直接影响，但通过毅力和就业能力显示出显著的间接影响。情绪恢复力对毅力有积极影响，进而提高就业能力并增加生活满意度。观察到了性别差异，毅力对男性来说是更关键的中介因素，而就业能力对女性来说是更强的中介因素。
该研究强调了毅力和就业能力在提高对外汉语教师生活满意度方面的重要性。建议采取针对性别的干预措施来强化这些中介因素，以支持对外汉语教师的幸福感和职业成就。
教育机构应制定专业发展计划和支持系统，培养情绪恢复力、毅力和就业能力，并关注性别特定需求，以提高对外汉语教师的工作满意度和工作效率。
