Abstract

This study examines the influence of teacher empowerment and rewards on teacher engagement through professional commitment. The research is motivated by the relatively low level of teacher engagement influenced by managerial and motivational factors within educational institutions. The objective is to analyze both direct and indirect effects of empowerment and reward systems on teacher engagement, with professional commitment serving as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach was employed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The respondents were secondary school teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale. The research instrument measured four constructs: teacher empowerment (autonomy, participation in decision-making, access to resources), reward (financial and non-financial compensation), professional commitment (dedication, loyalty, responsibility), and teacher engagement (vigor, dedication, absorption). Validity was assessed through convergent and discriminant validity, while reliability was tested using Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability. The findings indicate that teacher empowerment has a positive and significant effect on professional commitment and teacher engagement. Rewards demonstrate a positive but relatively weak effect on engagement. Professional commitment significantly mediates the relationship between empowerment and teacher engagement.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between recognition and career development rewards and their impact on teacher engagement through a systematic review of 15 selected peer-reviewed articles published between 2019 and 2025. The review examined diverse educational contexts, including early-career teachers, private and public schools, and various subject areas, to identify how recognition and career development initiatives influence teacher motivation, satisfaction, and retention. Findings reveal that recognition of achievements, appreciation, and supportive organizational environments significantly enhance intrinsic motivation and emotional engagement, particularly among early-career teachers. Career development rewards, including mentoring, training, coaching, and structured reward systems, were found to contribute to long-term motivation, job satisfaction, and retention, especially in private school settings. Several studies highlight gaps in the implementation of effective recognition systems, showing that teachers often perceive insufficient acknowledgment of their performance, which can reduce engagement and increase turnover intentions. Moreover, the synergistic integration of recognition and career development rewards produces the most substantial improvements in teacher engagement, suggesting that organizations should address both psychological and professional growth needs. This systematic review underscores the importance of combining recognition programs with career development strategies to foster sustainable teacher engagement and improve overall educational outcomes. In conclusion, integrating recognition and career development rewards is a practical and effective approach to enhancing teacher engagement across diverse educational contexts.
