“…On the other hand, we expected to find positive relationships between the three BPNs and job satisfaction, whereas the opposite was suggested for burnout, anxiety, depression, and intention to quit the job. Consistent with previous research, the three BPNs were positively related to job satisfaction (e.g., burnout, anxiety) [25,26], and negatively related to most maladaptive teacher outcomes [27,28,29,30]. These results broadly support the role of BPN satisfaction in the teaching context, not only to experience well-functioning at work (i.e., job satisfaction), but also to buffer the emergence of negative outcomes.…”

“…A vast body of research underpins the significant role of satisfying the three BPNs for an adequate psychological functioning of teachers at work [24]. To illustrate, past studies in teaching settings have shown positive relationships between BPNs and job satisfaction [25,26], and negative relationships with adverse outcomes such as burnout [27], anxiety [28], depression [29], and intention to quit the job [30].…”

Using the Multicontext Stressors Scale (MSS), this study investigates which factorial structure should be used to measure teacher stressors, and the extent to which this factorial structure of MSS remains invariant across gender. Subsequently, grounded in self-determination theory, the present study also examines the extent to which stressors may differentially predict teachers' psychological functioning. Participants were 584 (Mage = 45.04; SD = 8.97) secondary school teachers. Goodness-of-fit indices and estimated parameters of the models, together with latent correlations between stressors, offered support for the six-factor structure, whereas the opposite was true for the one-factor structure of the MSS. Results also supported gender invariance of the MSS. Predictive findings showed that student misbehavior, lack of shared decision-making, and workload stressors are negatively related to basic psychological needs. Likewise, results noted the important role of basic psychological needs to reach optimal teachers' psychological functioning. The results are discussed, arguing the importance of assessing and analyzing teacher stressors using a multifactorial and invariant scale. From a more practical approach, it seems important for school leaders to be especially vigilant about all stressors. Nonetheless, if they desire to prevent detrimental psychological functioning in teachers, special attention should be placed on stressors related to student misbehavior, lack of shared decision-making, and workload.

“…Multiple studies have also found that higher levels of basic need satisfaction were associated with greater well-being and perceived health (Bartholomew et al, 2011b ; Chen, Chang, Tsai, & Hou, 2018 ; Rahman et al, 2011 ; Rahman et al, 2015 ). Whereas, dissatisfaction of the three needs has been correlated to greater depression and anxiety (Uzman, 2014 ). Thus, as well as predicting self-management, SDT may also be useful for predicting HRQoL for people with COPD.…”

Objective: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-term condition that detrimentally affects health-related quality of life (HRQoL), with self-management proposed as an effective treatment. Using self-determination theory (SDT), this research explored psychological need satisfaction, frustration, and behavioural regulation to explain indicators of self-management. Design and Main Outcome Measures: Cross-sectional, questionnaire-based methods in people on a pulmonary rehabilitation waiting-list. 72 participants completed SDT, HRQoL, and self-management knowledge questionnaires. Path analyses investigated the ability of SDT concepts to predict selfmanagement knowledge and HRQoL. Results: Chi-square tests found no significant differences (χ 2 (13, N=72) = 16.7, p > 0.05) between the justand over-identified models, and multiple measures suggested an acceptable fit to the data. Relatedness frustration positively predicted controlled regulation and autonomy and relatedness satisfaction positively predicted autonomous regulation. The associations between the other needs and the different regulation types were not statistically significant. Both regulation types strongly predicted HRQoL (35% variance explained) and self-management knowledge (22% variance explained). Conclusion: SDT concepts can predict more self-determined selfmanagement regulation, self-management knowledge, and HRQoL and provide a framework for researchers and healthcare professionals to develop future health interventions for people with COPD. Greater research is needed to understand basic psychological need frustration in health contexts.

“…Moreover, a better teacher mental health and wellbeing are critical in supporting students' mental health and well-being (Harding et al, 2019). In this context, one of the basic goals in teacher education is to train mentally healthy teachers (Uzman, 2014). Thus, it is important to maintain and enhance teaching candidates' mental health (Woloshyn & Savage, 2020).…”

The investigation and supporting variables related to the mental health of teaching candidates is important since teachers’ psychological traits will affect students’ personal, social, and academic development. In this paper, the intermediary role of hope in the relationship between the social entrepreneurship characteristics and psychological well-being of teaching candidates was investigated. The sample consisted of 855 teaching candidates were chosen randomly. The data were collected by using the Psychological Well-being Scale, the Social Entrepreneurship Characteristics of the Pre-service Teachers’ Scale, the Dispositional Hope Scale and a Demographic Information Form. In the analysis descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, and regression-based bootstrapping method were used. The results showed that teaching candidates’ social entrepreneurship characteristics were positively and significantly correlated with psychological well-being and two components of hope (alternative ways of thinking and actuating thinking). Besides, it was found that alternative ways of thinking and actuating thinking had partial mediating roles in the relationship between teaching candidates’ social entrepreneurship characteristics and psychological well-being. The obtained findings were discussed in the light of related literature and suggestions were offered.
