Does Teacher Job Satisfaction Impact Students’ Academic Achievement? A Cross-Subject Student Fixed Effect Study of the China Education Panel Survey
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Little is known about the causal relationship between teacher job satisfaction and student learning in low-and-middle income country contexts. This study analyzes the effect of teacher job satisfaction on students’ academic achievement in China, a middle-income country. The study uses data from the China Education Panel Survey 2014 and employs a cross-subject student fixed effect model. The main results show that teacher job satisfaction significantly increases students’ academic achievement by 0.361 standard deviations (p < 0.01). The effect is more pronounced for rural, economically disadvantaged, and migrant students. Policy implications are discussed.
