Teachers' professional development and its correlates is a subject yet to be properly explored and conceptualized. We tested the potential associations between teachers' professional development stage, emotional experiences at work and burnout. We adopted a view of professional development as 'frame of mind', shaping perception, emotional reactions, thoughts and function, rather than mere level of skills and knowledge. We hypothesized that teachers' developmental stages will differentiate their emotional reactions at work and their burnout level. Sample of 133 school teachers representing a broad range of tenure at work reported their self-perceived professional development stage, emotional experiences at work and experience of burnout. Results showed significant differences in positive and negative emotions between the developmental stages, as well as differences in burnout levels. Results are linking emotional experiences and performance among teachers throughout the career span. An integrative framework emerging from our data is presented and further research is called for.

“…Also identified as energy (Thayer, 1996), liveliness (McNair, Lorr, & Droppleman, 1971), vitality (Ryan & Frederick, 1997), exuberance (Jamison, 2004), or joie de vivre, zest has also been discussed in the organizational literature as (work specific) vigor (Shirom, 2003) and engagement (Britt, Adler, & Bartone, 2001). Zest is one of the strengths of character included in a recent classification of widely valued positive traits, where it is defined as the habitual approach to life with anticipation, energy, and excitement .…”

SummaryZest is a positive trait reflecting a person's approach to life with anticipation, energy, and excitement. In the present study, 9803 currently employed adult respondents to an Internet site completed measures of dispositional zest, orientation to work as a calling, and satisfaction with work and life in general. Across all occupations, zest predicted the stance that work was a calling (r ¼ .39), as well as work satisfaction (r ¼ .46) and general life satisfaction (r ¼ .53). Zest deserves further attention from organizational scholars, especially how it can be encouraged in the workplace.

Abstract:Coping strategies are not necessarily mutually exclusive and can be used simultaneously, a fact which has rarely been examined in coping research. We examined what kinds of coping profiles could be found in data concerning Finnish health care and service employees (n = 2756). We also studied whether role engagement (family-to-workenrichment, work-to-family-enrichment, emotional energy at work, and work engagement) and subjective well-being (life, parental, and marital satisfaction, and psychological distress) differ between coping profiles. The data were analyzed through latent profile (LPA) and covariance analyses (Ancovas). LPA revealed seven distinct coping profiles: two active groups, one passive group, one low and two high copers' groups and one moderate group. These results indicate that coping strategies are not mutually exclusive and that people might use different strategies simultaneously. The covariance analyses revealed that the most significant differences concerned role engagement: active copers showed higher role engagement (e.g. enrichment, work engagement) than moderate or low copers. The findings imply that the indicators of role engagement deserve more attention in coping research in healthy working adults.
