The present study aims to explore the mediational role of organizational identification and work engagement in the relationship between professional development and job satisfaction, using the motivational process of the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model. Data were collected on a sample of 202 Italian teachers working in primary and secondary schools. Results of a bootstrapping model with multiple mediators operating in serial supported the hypothesis that opportunities for professional development enhance job satisfaction in teachers. In addition, we contributed to the extension of the JD-R model by adding the role of organizational identification as a mediator within the motivational process.

Abstract

The present study aims to explore the mediational role of organizational identification and work engagement in the relationship between professional development and job satisfaction, using the motivational process of the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model. Data were collected on a sample of 202 Italian teachers working in primary and secondary schools. Results of a bootstrapping model with multiple mediators operating in serial supported the hypothesis that opportunities for professional development enhance job satisfaction in teachers. In addition, we contributed to the extension of the JD-R model by adding the role of organizational identification as a mediator within the motivational process.
