Abstract
This study had the following objectives: (1) to assess the current status of teachers’ work engagement in enterprise internship and professional development activities within the vocational education system in Henan, China; (2) to identify the factors that influence the relationship between teachers’ work engagement in enterprise internships and the effectiveness of professional training programs; (3) to develop an evidence-based model to enhance teachers’ work engagement and effectiveness in enterprise internship and professional development programs, focusing on meeting modern industries’ technological demands; (4) to reveal teachers’ insights and experts’ opinions on the enterprise internship and professional development programs.
A mixed-methods approach was employed. Quantitative data were collected by distributing questionnaires through the WJX platform, resulting in 408 valid responses. Statistical analyses, including CFA and SEM, were conducted using SPSS 27 and AMOS 27. Qualitative data were obtained through online semi-structured interviews and updated report questionnaires, then analyzed through a triangulated method involving AI-assisted transcription with iFLYTEK, thematic coding, word cloud visualization, and word frequency analysis with MAXQDA 2020. The study incorporated enterprise internship as a moderating variable to examine its effects on the relationships among perceived subjective norms, perceived organizational support, job embeddedness, and teachers’ work engagement. The SEM results indicated that perceived subjective norms (β = 0.239, p < 0.001), perceived organizational support (β = 0.339, p < 0.001), and job embeddedness (β = 0.223, p < 0.001) significantly predicted psychological contract, which subsequently predicted teachers’ work engagement (β = 0.529, p < 0.001). Both the mediating role of psychological contract and the moderating role of enterprise internship were supported.
Qualitative findings supported the quantitative results and emphasized themes including propriety, feasibility, and utility. Ten experts representing five vocational colleges provided evaluative insights through semi-structured interviews and a refreshing report, ensuring academic rigor and practical relevance.
This study refines and expands existing training frameworks by integrating job embeddedness and psychological contract while introducing enterprise internship as a key moderating factor. These findings advance both theoretical understanding and practical strategies for improving “double-qualified” teacher development in vocational education.
Keywords: double-qualified teachers, teachers’ work engagement, psychological contract, job embeddedness, enterprise internship, vocational education
