With the HEXACO model of personality, this study examined the relationship between HEXACO traits (i.e., honesty-humility, emotionality, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience) and teaching commitment among 2031 Chinese pre-service teachers. The results show that all HEXACO traits positively predicted teaching commitment, with extraversion and agreeableness being the most pronounced predictors. Also, this study investigated whether teaching motivation, including intrinsic motivation, altruistic motivation, and extrinsic motivation, could explain the relationship between HEXACO traits and teaching commitment. The results supported the mediational role of teaching motivation, with intrinsic motivation showing the strongest mediational effect. For extraversion and openness to experience, a full mediation model was supported, while for the other four HEXACO traits, a partial mediation model was validated. The theoretical and practical implications of this study for teacher education are discussed.
本研究采用HEXACO人格模型，考察了2031名中国职前教师的HEXACO人格特质（即诚实谦逊、情绪性、外向性、宜人性、尽责性和经验开放性）与教学承诺之间的关系。结果表明，所有HEXACO人格特质均能正向预测教学承诺，其中外向性和宜人性是最显著的预测因素。此外，本研究还探讨了教学动机，包括内在动机、利他动机和外在动机，是否能够解释HEXACO人格特质与教学承诺之间的关系。结果支持了教学动机的中介作用，其中内在动机的中介效应最强。对于外向性和经验开放性，支持完全中介模型，而对于其他四个HEXACO人格特质，则验证了部分中介模型。本文讨论了该研究对教师教育的理论和实践意义。
