• Abstract: In the era of social media, sharing travel experiences on social platforms post-trip has become a common practice, from which people derive significant well-being. However, existing research has not yet explored the potential positive effects of sharing travel experiences on educators’ sense of meaning in life and job creativity. Grounded in the post-travel phase and focusing on the specific context of educators, this study investigates the core research question: how value-oriented versus operation-oriented sharing of travel experiences influences educators’ post-travel sense of meaning in life and job creativity. Data analysis from questionnaire surveys indicates that, compared to operation-oriented sharing, value-oriented sharing of travel experiences more effectively enhances educators’ post-travel sense of meaning in life and significantly boosts their job creativity. The findings of this study provide important theoretical guidance and practical pathways for enhancing educators’ sense of meaning in life and job creativity following travel in real-world settings.
