An examination of teacher enthusiasm and quality of life among secondary school teachers

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the level of teacher enthusiasm and quality of life among secondary school teachers. Material and Methods: A total of 600 teachers were selected for the study using a multi-stage sampling procedure. The quality-of-life scale for teachers and the teacher's enthusiasm scale were the two primary instruments utilised to evaluate study variables. Life satisfaction, goals and motivation, spirituality, happiness, hopes and wishes, stress reduction, frustration/depression/anxiety, adjustment, physical well-being and self-care, effectiveness/efficiency of myself, and personal development/personal evolution are the eleven dimensions of the quality-of-life scale for teachers. The teacher's enthusiasm scale has seven dimensions. These seven dimensions are: Interest and Engagement (IE), Interaction with Students (IWS), Passion for Teaching (PT), Creativity and Innovation (CI), Professional Development (PD), Subject Knowledge Enrichment (SKE) and Professional Commitment (PC). Findings: It was revealed that there is no significant difference in teachers' quality of life or enthusiasm based on their gender or school type. The interaction effect of gender and school type was discovered in the teacher's enthusiasm. Educational implications: The present study encourages periodic investigations of the quality of life of teachers and teachers’ enthusiasm to make any necessary decisions or initiatives to address any shortcomings or imbalances in the schools.
