“…These findings are in line with those studies that highlight the impact of job resources on psychological wellbeing and work engagement. More specifically, some studies show that meaningfulness of work negatively correlates with perceived stress, burnout, psychological disease [86][87][88] and job satisfaction [89]. Moreover, our results confirm the existence of the process supposed by JD-R concerning motivation: job resources could lead to high work engagement and indirectly impact outcomes, such as job satisfaction, psychological wellbeing, and reduced intention to leave [29,88,90].…”

“…Moreover, our results confirm the existence of the process supposed by JD-R concerning motivation: job resources could lead to high work engagement and indirectly impact outcomes, such as job satisfaction, psychological wellbeing, and reduced intention to leave [29,88,90]. The results, then, confirm the role of mediator of work engagement [88][89][90][91]. In other studies, reward is also confirmed as having a great impact on the job satisfaction of workers [92][93][94] and protects against intention to leave [95,96].…”

Universities perform very demanding tasks within a workplace characterized by a critical psychosocial environment. Against this backdrop, the aim of this study is to extend the current literature on the job sustainability of faculty professors, examine the associations of certain job resources (meaningfulness of work, reward) and job demands (work overload, conflict among colleagues) with workaholism, burnout, engagement. A self-report questionnaire was administered within a public higher education institution in Italy to a sample constituted by 291 professors. The results of path analysis show that meaningfulness of work and reward positively correlate with work engagement, work satisfaction, and psychological wellbeing and ward off emotional exhaustion and intention to leave. Work overload correlates positively with workaholism, work-family conflict and intention to leave and negatively with job satisfaction. Finally, workaholism correlates with work engagement and mediates the relationship between work overload and work-family conflict, emotional exhaustion, and psychological discomfort. The study highlights that to support the work of academic workers and build healthy and sustainable universities, it is necessary to promote job resources and control job demands. Moreover, the study highlights that work engagement and workaholism can be respectively considered as the positive and negative sides of heavy work investment.

“…The findings of the study indicated that the study revealed that pay had a positive significant relationship with teacher engagement in support of the studies by Didit and Nikmah (2020) and Putra et al (2017). However, the finding was in disagreement with most previous scholars (Chevalier et al, 2019;Kulikowski & Sedlak, 2020;Olusola & Nze, 2019;Yalabik et al, 2017) who reported that the relationship was insignificant. On their part, Olusola and Nze (2019) indicated that of the pay variables namely pay level, benefit, raise, and pay structure only was a positive significant predictor of work enjoyment.…”

Hard to reach schools in rural districts experience many challenges including harsh environmental conditions, financial difficulties, lack of school buildings and shortage of teachers due to their locality. Teachers who accept to join such schools tend to be disengaged because of poor working environments. This study sought to identify factors related to teacher engagement in secondary schools in rural hard-to-reach areas in Uganda. Generally, the study assessed the relationship between head teachers perceived support and teacher engagement in secondary schools in Buhweju district a hard-to-reach rural district in south-western Uganda. Specifically, the study tested whether perceived support in terms of training, pay and promotion related teacher engagement. This correlational study used a sample of 220 teachers. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire and were analysed using the quantitative approach. Data were analysed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS 4 testing the link between the study variables. The findings revealed that while pay and training had a positive and significant relationship with teacher engagement, promotion support had a positive but insignificant relationship with teacher engagement. The conclusions of the study were to the effect that while pay is essential for teacher engagement and training is imperative for teacher engagement in hard-to-reach secondary schools in rural districts, promotion is not a probable requirement for teacher engagement in the hard-to-reach secondary schools in rural districts. Therefore, it was recommended that head teachers of secondary schools should provide pay support to teachers, and prioritise providing training to teachers but promotion should not be overemphasised

“…The significance of job satisfaction and occupational burnout has been reported in several professions.

The level of occupational burnout (OB) and job satisfaction (JS) was investigated in primary school teachers (n = 125) in the region of Epirus in Northwestern Greece. Teachers exhibited a high level of emotional exhaustion (EE), a medium level of depersonalization (DP), and a lack of personal accomplishment (PA). In our study, EE, which is a significant component of OB, varied according to intrinsic and extrinsic JS parameters. Teachers were less satisfied and more stressed with extrinsic job characteristics of their job, such as working conditions and working hours. Female teachers were more likely to exhibit increased satisfaction from intrinsic job characteristics, whereas male teachers were more likely to exhibit increased emotional exhaustion and lack of personal accomplishment. Job satisfaction had a significant negative impact on emotional exhaustion. Job satisfaction accounted (EE = 47.173 − 3.527*JS) for 35.1% of the total variation in the dependent variation of EE (F(1124) = 66.094, p < 0.001), indicating that job satisfaction had a significant negative effect on EE, such that an additional unit in job satisfaction will lower EE by 3.527. A Pearson correlation analysis revealed that age correlated negatively with emotional exhaustion (r = −0.204, p = 0.023). Proactive human resources policies may be required to protect the newly hired and less experienced teachers from exposure to stressful working conditions.
