Abstract

With the youth trend of teachers in university, young teachers have become the new and core force of higher education. Motivating the work engagement of young university teachers is an important task in the construction of talent system and human resource management in university. By means of quantitative research, the correlation mechanism of psychological safety, relational identification and young teachers' engagement was explored in this paper. The results showed that there were significant positive correlations between psychological safety, coworker relational identification, teacher-students relational identification and emotional engagement. And the coworker relational identification, teacher-students relational identification and behavioral engagement had the significant positive correlations. Furthermore, there was a significant positive correlation between emotional engagement and behavioral engagement, while the correlation was limited. On this basis, suggestions were made to help improve the engagement of young teachers. Specifically, quantitative analysis techniques of personality traits and ability structures should be introduced into the recruitment process, combine the orientation of the school-running and the individual characteristics of the teachers to carry out different career planning and create a positive interpersonal atmosphere with a system of protection for the growth of young teacher.
