2 The role of strengths use in teachers Claudia Harzer University of Kassel, Kassel, Germany,

3 Introduction - Basic thoughts person-job fit decisive for positive work-related outcomes like job satisfaction, pleasure, flow, and calling (e.g., Harter & Blacksmith, 2010; Novak, 1996; Verquer et al., 2003) Values in Action (VIA) classification of strengths (Peterson & Seligman, 2004) 24 cross-culturally valued character strengths (e.g., honesty, teamwork, humor) personality characteristics (e.g., a person is honest and/or prudent) character strengths can be ranked for each individual with respect to how central they are to the person up to seven core or signature strengths their use is fulfilling & satisfying 4th World Conference on PP 3

4 Introduction - Basic thoughts on strengths-related person-job fit (Harzer, 2012) Number of applied signature strengths (0-7) Peterson and Seligman (2004) describe 24 character strengths most people have up to seven signature strengths Possession of signature strengths Strength rank 1 Strength rank 2... Strength rank 7 VIA-IS (Ruch et al., 2010) score 3.5 (at least slight endorsement) Applicability of signature strengths ACS-RS score ACS-RS score... ACS-RS score ACS-RS (Harzer & Ruch, 2013) score 4 (at least often applicable) 4th World Conference on PP 4

5 Introduction: Empirical evidence (examples) number of applied signature strengths (0-7) positive experiences at work (Harzer & Ruch, 2012, 2013) pleasure, engagement, meaning, job satisfaction calling (Harzer & Ruch, 2012) job performance (Harzer & Ruch, 2014) task performance, job dedication, interpersonal facilitation, org. support so far: mixed samples of employees from various occupations therefore: very little is known right now about job-specific effects of strengths use 4th World Conference on PP 5

6 Aims of the present study study role of strengths use in specific job groups teachers are multipliers due to their intensive contacts with students occupational group with a large impact utilize teacher specific outcomes like strain and burnout teaching-related self-efficacy job performance = instructional behavior (classroom management, control, cognitive activation, error culture, social support, empathy) 4th World Conference on PP 6

7 Methods: Sample and procedure Sample 359 teachers (107 males) age: M = 42.84, SD = 10.83, 24-65years German-speaking, from different schools and German states predominantly high school teachers job tenure: M = years (SD = 10.96) Procedure: online survey via UniPark immediate individual feedback in character strengths and their applicability plus working material 4th World Conference on PP 7

8 Methods: Measurements (reliable & valid) Character strengths Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS; Peterson et al., 2005; German version: Ruch et al., 2010) Applicability of Character Strengths Rating Scales (ACS-RS; Harzer & Ruch, 2013) General work-related outcomes Work Related Flow Inventory (WOLF; Bakker, 2008) Work and Meaning Inventory (WAMI; Steger et al., 2012) Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (JSQ; Andrews & Withey, 1976) Calling Scale (Dobrow & Tosti-Kharas, 2011; German version: Harzer, 2014) Work-related outcomes in teachers Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI; Maslach & Jackson, 1981) Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale (TSE; Schwarzer & Schmitz, 1999) Instructional Behavior Questionnaire (Kunter & Baumert, 2006; Kunter et al., 2007) 4th World Conference on PP 8

9 Results: General work-related outcomes number of applied signature strengths (0-7) positive experiences at work calling enjoyment: r =.33*** (.44***) engagement: r =.24** meaning: r =.33*** (.47***) overall job satisfaction: r =.27*** intrinsic motivation: r =.31*** (.39***) r =.15** (Strengths use in general) 4th World Conference on PP 9

10 Results: Work-related outcomes in teachers number of applied signature strengths (0-7) positive experiences at work (Strengths use in general) teacher self-efficacy: r =.30*** teacher satisfaction: r =.18** strain and burnout strain: r = -.21*** emotional exhaustion: r = -.16** lack of accomplishment: r = -.40*** depersonalization: r = -.25** (-.49***) job performance classroom management: r =.09 (.12*) control: r =.09 (.16*) cognitive activation: r =.22*** positive error culture: r =.19** social support: r =.31*** (.39***) empathy: r =.20*** (.30***) 4th World Conference on PP 10

11 Discussion application of signature strengths fosters positive experiences at work and performance-related outcomes in teachers for some variables also the general strengths use seems to be of relevance; here: enjoyment at work meaning at work intrinsic work motivation burnout: lack of accomplishment social support empathy foster person-job fit vs. moral behavior and competencies 4th World Conference on PP 11

12 Discussion Limitations cross-sectional data self-ratings only Outlook teachers AND students to study interactive relations self- and other-ratings relations between character strengths and outcomes 4th World Conference on PP 12

13 Students Teachers Call for schools/teachers that are interested in interactive relations 4th World Conference on PP 13
