“…According to these authors, these sentiments are likely to be shared by those with a strong calling towards their work. Sawhney et al (2020) opined, ‘Perceiving a calling could be considered an individual characteristic that energizes employees to be engaged in their work’ (p. 189). Hirschi (2012) viewed that calling can have organizational impacts like work engagement.…”

Sense of calling is an emerging construct in the field of psychology and organizational behaviour. There are a lot of studies, which have been conducted in Western countries, but there are still many parts of the globe where not many studies have been conducted. One probable reason for the deficient research in other parts of the globe could be attributed to the wording of existing scales. There is a need to develop new tools for measuring calling, which are subject specific. Calling is connected to a particular career domain. Therefore, studying the construct in a particular career domain like teaching can facilitate the research on sense of calling. But teachers’ sense of calling has received less research attention. This motivated us to develop a scale specifically for measuring teachers’ sense of calling. The scale is a 10-item, three-dimensional scale. Finally, implications and limitations of the study with some suggestions for future research are discussed.

“…Calling orientation is related to several positive employee attitudes and performance such as positive job attitudes (Zhang, Hirschi, Herrmann, Wei, & Zhang, 2015), career outcome expectations, occupational choice, interests, and goals (e.g., Kaminsky & Behrend, 2015), greater self-reflection (Hirschi, 2012), work engagement, affective and normative occupational commitment, career satisfaction (e.g. Dobrow, 2006;Duffy, Allan, Autin, & Douglass, 2014;Hirschi, 2012;Sawhney, Britt, & Wilson, 2019;Xie, Xia, Xin, & Zhou, 2016), and higher levels of job performance (e.g. Lee, Chen, & Chang, 2016;Park, Sohn, & Ha, 2016).…”

According to recent studies, teachers' well-being is a significant contributor to teacher effectiveness in terms of students' academic achievement, so it would be worth finding out what contributes to teachers' well-being. By extending previous research that revealed the positive relationship between the calling orientation and well-being and the negative between job/career orientation and well-being, the present study aimed to explore the role of flow in different life domains as mechanisms underlying this relationship, with an accent on flow at work. Correlational research design was used to examine the relationship between work orientations, flow in different life domains and flourishing of 315 classroom teachers from Croatia. The following self-report measures were used: Work-Life Questionnaire, Swedish Flow Proneness Questionnaire, and Flourishing Scale. Three parallel mediations were performed to test the hypothesized mediation role of flow in different life domains on the relationship between work orientations and flourishing. Results showed that career orientation was insignificant for teachers' flourishing. Flow at work partially mediated the positive relationship between calling orientation and flourishing, and the negative relationship between job orientation and flourishing. The study provides empirical support for the role of flow at work relationship between calling and wellbeing, suggesting that flourishing of calling oriented teachers can be enhanced by experiencing flow at work.
