Abstract

Abstract

With the increase of stress in teachers' work environments, it is becoming increasingly important to understand and promote teachers' innovative work behaviors. In this study, 856 junior high school teachers in Jiangsu Province were surveyed with questionnaire, and structural equation modeling and quantile regression were used to test the effects of challenge-hindrance stressors on teachers' work innovative behaviors and the mechanisms of their effects. It was found that challenge stressors had significant direct and indirect effects on teachers' innovative work behaviors; hindrance stressors had only significant indirect effects on teachers' innovative work behaviors; work engagement played a mediating role between challenge-hindrance stressors and teachers' innovative work behaviors; and the benefits of challenge stressors on the levels of different teachers' innovative work behaviors showed an inverse "U"-shaped relationship. Therefore, schools need to pay attention to the effects of different stressors on teachers' innovative work behaviors, and design and implement teacher support programs for different types of stresses.
