Teacher Psychological Needs, Locus of Control and Engagement

Abstract: This study examines the relationships among psychological needs, locus of control and engagement in a sample of 282 Spanish secondary school teachers. Nine teacher needs were identified based on the study of Bess (1977) and on the Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985, 2000, 2002). Self-report questionnaires were used to measure the construct selected for this study and their interrelationships were examined by conducting hierarchical regression analyses. An analysis of teacher responses using hiera… Show more

“…According to Lam and Mizerski (2005), an internal locus of control also tends to encourage word-of-mouth communication on discussion boards with people other than family and friends; an external locus of control encourages more word-of-mouth communication with close friends and family. Moreover, individuals with an internal locus of control are likely to seek social recognition (Betoret, 2013) and obtain higher wages in the workplace (Ahn, 2015). Hence, a live stream broadcasting activity may provide individuals with high levels of internal locus of control who strongly believe in their ability and effort to influence others a way to share information and knowledge and communicate with viewers, and thereby, they may build interest in the activity itself.…”

“…As stated by the SDT, any social context that satisfies psychological needs (e.g., autonomy, competence and relatedness) enhances well-being and increases commitment (Hackman & Oldham, 1980;van den Broeck, Vansteenkiste, De Witte, & Lens, 2008). Previous research has verified the relationship between employees´ needs and professional well-being (e.g., Doménech-Betoret, 2013;Gold & Roth, 2005;van den Broeck et al, 2008). The research conducted by Doménech-Betoret, (2013) examined the relationships among psychological needs, locus of control and engagement in a sample of 282 Spanish secondary school teachers.…”

“…This scale was constructed for research in the Spanish school context within which this study is framed (for details of its validation, see Doménech-Betoret (2013). It is based on the seven teaching needs proposed by Bess (1977) and on the three basic needs proposed by the SDT (Deci & Ryan, 1985, 2002.…”

“…Aunque desde una perspectiva teórica diferente, recientemente se ha comprobado el importante papel de las necesidades psicológicas en el profesorado. 7 Estas necesidades psicológicas son entendidas aquí como factores intrínsecos y conforman el abanico de estrategias con el que las personas hacen frente y se adaptan a las condiciones de trabajo. Por otra parte, el análisis de las subescalas demostró que consideradas de manera independiente, ninguna de las dos obtuvo una confiabilidad elevada.…”
