How to Improve the Job Performance of Teachers in Private Universities?

Abstract

Teachers’ job performance is a key driver of the changes in the education field. Such performance is greatly influenced by their job competencies. Improvements in teachers’ job performance enhance the quality of education and teaching. With college teachers as our research participants, we found that teacher competence significantly and positively predicts job performance and sense of organizational support. Moreover, sense of organizational support partially mediates the positive relationship between teacher competence and job performance. Meanwhile, self-efficacy moderates this relationship. These findings deepen our understanding of and provide guidance on the mechanisms influencing the relationship between teacher competence and job performance. They also have important implications for improving educational quality and promoting pedagogical innovation and teacher development.
