“…Researchers have identified a number of personal characteristics. These include: communication skills (Braun et al, 1987;Cain-Caston, 1999;Ralph et al, 1998), enthusiasm (Broberg, 1987), caring, interpersonal skills (Engel, 2013;Ingle et al, 2011;Ralph et al, 1998), motivation (Ingle et al, 2018), willingness to give extra/bring something extra (Engel, 2013), and a passion for teaching/working with students (Bigham et al, 2014;DeArmond et al, 2010;Liu et al, 2016;Mason and Schroeder, 2010). Surprisingly, few studies on teacher hiring draw upon existing human resource theories, industrial-organizational theories, or otherwise (Perrone and Meyers, 2019).…”
