Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Given the complex nature of the teaching profession, investigating the factors that influence teachers’ creativity represents a fruitful area of research. Consistent with this research agenda, we constructed and examined a structural model of creativity by incorporating teacher enthusiasm, grit, and resilience. Participants were 454 Chinese teachers who completed a paper-based survey. The results revealed positive associations of teacher enthusiasm, grit, and resilience with creativity, underscoring the significance of these teacher attributes in fostering creative practices. Additionally, teacher enthusiasm exerted an indirect influence on creativity through the mediating roles of grit and resilience. These findings carry significant implications for the design of interventions and programs intended to enhance teacher creativity.
