The Factors Affecting the Work Engagement among Teachers in Lower Secondary Schools in Albania
Abstract
Work engagement among the teachers in a lower secondary school in Albania reflects their attitude towards the task which conditions on a set of factors related to his enthusiasm and energy, commitment and level of psycho-emotional and spiritual involvement during the task performance process. Dedication is the largest contributor subscale to the work engagement of lower secondary school teachers. Vigor ranks second and Absorption is the subscale that has the least effect. Gender, work experience and age of the teacher are significant factors (p<0.05) while the relationship between property status of the school, its location and the level of work engagement among the teachers is not significant (p>0.05).
