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

Abstract

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.
