Abstract

We investigated the impact of kindergarten organizational climate on teachers’ job involvement, and assessed the mediating role of teaching efficacy in this relationship. We conducted a survey with 326 kindergarten teachers and the results revealed a significant positive correlation between kindergarten organizational climate and teachers’ job involvement. Furthermore, teaching efficacy played a mediating role in this relationship. Our findings contribute to understanding of the interplay among kindergarten organizational climate, job involvement, and teaching efficacy in the context of early childhood education in China. These insights provide educators with practical understanding for enhancing the job involvement of kindergarten teachers in China and suggest directions for future research.
