Teacher engagement in a northwestern British Columbia school district.

Energy, involvement, and efficacy comprise work engagement as measured by the Maslack Burnout Inventory - General Survey ...and according to the mediation model. This mixed method cross-sectional research provides an analysis of the relationships among job resources, job demands, coping strategies, and work engagement for 91 teachers. Consistent with the findings of the job demand-resources model..., job resources had positive correlations and job demands had negative correlations with work engagement. Analyses of correlations, multiple regression models, and written comments showed that workload and social support had significant relationships with teacher work engagement. Student support seemed to offset the relationship between workload and energy levels. Professional development with a sustained focus did not predict engagement. The combination of resources and demands seemed to predict engagement levels. The study identified important resources and demands that could guide future research. --P. ii.
