This study examined the relationship between professional learning communities and work engagement among 227 Chinese university teachers, with a focus on emotional intelligence's mediating role. Using structural equation modeling(SEM), the results revealed: 1) Significant positive correlations among professional learning communities, emotional intelligence, and work engagement; 2) Emotional intelligence partially mediated this relationship, as learning communities both directly enhanced work engagement and indirectly improved it by boosting emotional intelligence. The findings suggest universities should implement emotional competence training to strengthen teachers' self-awareness and regulation skills, while simultaneously fostering collaborative professional communities through shared vision-building, peer collaboration, and institutional support. Additionally, adopting flexible promotion systems informed by international best practices could further enhance teaching engagement, professional dedication, and overall work vitality. These evidence-based recommendations provide a comprehensive approach to supporting teacher development through both emotional and organizational interventions.
本研究采用问卷调查法,以中国高校教师为研究对象(N=227),通过构建结构方程模 型(SEM)系统考察教师学习共同体对工作投入的影响路径,重点分析情绪智能在其中的中 介效应机制。这一研究设计旨在揭示三者间的内在作用机理,为提升教师专业发展提供实 证依据。研究结果表明:(1)教师专业学习共同体、情绪智能与工作投入三者之间存在显 著正向关联;(2)情绪智能在专业学习共同体影响工作投入的过程中发挥部分中介效应, 即共同体既直接促进工作投入,又通过提升情绪智能间接增强投入水平。为了更好地提高 大学教师的教学工作投入,建议通过大学行政部门强化大学教师正确的情绪认知,引导大 学教师进行合理的情绪调节,提升大学教师灵活的情绪管理。另外,大学教师们在专业学 习共同体的学习及工作过程中,可以增强愿景和目标共享、注重提高学生的学习能力、促进同事之间的合作实践、获取学校对教师的多类支持等。除此,大学各方还可以借鉴国际 间的优秀经验,拓宽教师晋升平台,灵活晋升机制,以此提高大学教师的教学活力,职业 专注,工作奉献,工作投入。
