School Principals' Workplace Well-Being: A Multination Examination of the Role of Their Job Resources and Job Demands
Collie, Rebecca J.; Granziera, Helena; Martin, Andrew J.
Journal of Educational Administration, v58 n4 p417-433 2020
Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the extent to which several workplace factors are implicated in school principals' well-being. Two job resources (i.e. participatory climate and collegial climate) and two job demands (i.e. barriers to professional learning and staff shortages) were investigated, along with two well-being outcomes (i.e. job satisfaction and occupational commitment). Interaction effects between the job resource and job demand variables were also tested. Design/methodology/approach: Data were from 5,951 principals in 22 Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries that participated in the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) 2013. Path analysis of direct and interaction effects was tested, along with multigroup path analysis to determine any differences in results across nations. Findings: The results showed that staff shortages and collegial climate predicted job satisfaction. All of the job resources and demands predicted occupational commitment. In addition, one interaction effect was significant showing that a participatory climate was especially important for occupational commitment under conditions of high staff shortages. The findings were similar across the 22 countries. Originality/value: The study yields important knowledge about the cross-national salience of four job resources and demands that are associated with principals' well-being at work.
