The Effect of Teachers’ Job Satisfaction and Work-Related Emotional Burnout on Career Ladder Examination Anxiety: The Mediating Role of Life Satisfaction

Abstract

This study, focusing on teachers, aims to examine the impact of job satisfaction and work-related emotional burnout on anxiety regarding the career ladder exam, using life satisfaction as a mediating factor. For this purpose, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach was carried out. The sample consisted of 277 teachers working in a province in southeastern Türkiye. The results showed that job satisfaction and work-related emotional burnout had only a direct effect on teachers’ anxiety regarding the career ladder exam. Teachers with high job satisfaction also had high anxiety levels regarding the career ladder exam. Similarly, teachers with high levels of work-related emotional burnout also had high anxiety levels regarding the career ladder exams.
