Abstract

Emotional intelligence plays an important role in enhancing rural kindergarten teachers' work engagement and is closely related to their emotional labor strategies and self-efficacy. The Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS), the Emotional Labor Strategies Scale (ELS), the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), and the Work Engagement Scale (UWES) were administered to 314 rural kindergarten teachers in Henan Province, a region in central China. The results found that (1) kindergarten teachers' emotional intelligence, emotional labor strategies, self-efficacy, and work engagement showed a significant positive correlation; (2) kindergarten teachers' emotional intelligence, emotional labor strategies, and self-efficacy all significantly and positively predicted their work engagement; and (3) further Bootstrap method analyses revealed a chain-mediating effect of emotional labor strategies and self-efficacy between emotional intelligence and kindergarten teachers' work engagement.

中国农村幼儿园教师情绪智力与工作投入的关系：情绪劳动策略与一般自我效能感的连锁中介作用

情绪智力对提高农村幼儿园教师的工作投入具有重要作用，并与教师的情绪劳动策略和自我效能感密切相关。采用情绪智力量表（WLEIS）、情绪劳动策略量表（ELS）、一般自我效能量表（GSES）和工作投入量表（UWES）对河南省314名农村幼儿园教师进行了问卷调查。结果发现：(1)幼儿园教师的情绪智力、情绪劳动策略、自我效能感与工作投入呈显著正相关；(2)幼儿园教师的情绪智力、情绪劳动策略、自我效能感均显著正向预测其工作投入；(3)进一步的Bootstrap方法分析揭示了情绪劳动策略和自我效能感在情绪智力与幼儿园教师工作投入之间的链式中介作用。
