Mentors, Self-Efficacy, or Professional Development: Which Mediate Job Satisfaction for New Teachers? A Regression Examination
Renbarger, Rachel; Davis, Brenda K.
Journal of Teacher Education and Educators, v8 n1 p21-34 2019
Research has shown that new teachers have struggles in the classroom, leading to high attrition rates for this population. Factors such as job satisfaction, self-efficacy, and mentorship programs have all been found to impact teacher attrition. This study aims to examine the relationship between these variables along with another common issue teachers face: barriers to professional development (i.e., cost, time). This study utilized the Teaching and Learning International Survey of beginning teachers in the United States. Using multiple regression, results indicated there was a positive relationship between job satisfaction and self-efficacy and the presence of a mentor. There was a negative relationship between barriers to professional development and job satisfaction. Limitations, implications, and areas for future research are discussed.
