Abstract:
Objective: From the perspective of positive psychology research, to explore the current
situation of professional identity of young teachers in colleges and universities and its relationship with
psychological capital and emotional labor; Methods: Using the psychological capital scale, emotional
labor questionnaire and professional identity questionnaire as research tools, 231 valid questionnaires
were obtained by young teachers under 40 years old in newly established local undergraduate colleges
and universities in Sichuan; Results: the results showed that the psychological capital score of young
teachers in colleges and universities was 4.49 ±0.75, and the emotional labor score was 3.50 ± 0.53, the
professional identity score was 4.09±0.62, and the psychological capital, emotional labor and professional
identity scores of young teachers in colleges and universities were generally at a medium and slightly
high level; Conclusion: The scores of psychological capital, emotional labor and professional identity
of young teachers in colleges and universities were all moderately correlated (correlation coefficients
between 0.464~0.515); psychological capital and professional identity both had a positive predictive
effect on emotional labor, and occupational identity played a partial mediating role in the influence of
psychological capital on emotional labor.
