Abstract:
Under the background of “double first-class” construction, the teaching staff, as the foundation of the construction of colleges and universities, determines the overall construction effect of colleges and universities. High-level teachers are the guarantee of talent cultivation, education and teaching, scientific research and competitiveness of colleges and universities. However, the improvement of teachers’ quality is affected by many factors, which leads to teachers’ choices that affect their overall performance when facing teaching and scientific research tasks. In view of this, this study attempts to determine the relationship between professional ability, incentive mechanism and career satisfaction in Chinese universities and colleges, and to propose ways to improve teacher quality. A total of 400 valid questionnaires were collected in this study, and SPSS 26.0 software was used for descriptive analysis, variance analysis and regression analysis. The results show that there is a positive correlation between professional ability, incentive mechanism and teacher satisfaction in Chinese universities. This means that the stronger the professional ability of teachers, the better the incentive mechanism, the higher the satisfaction of teachers, and the corresponding improvement of teacher quality. Through this research, universities may encourage and support the training and professional development of young teachers. This will help balance the age structure of the teaching force and provide more development opportunities for young teachers. As teachers themselves, they may continuously improve their level of professional ability, including teaching and academic ability, and formulate their own career plans in order to adapt to the constant changes in society. Regular teacher training programs should be established to help enhance their professional competence, while salaries and benefits should be improved to better motivate teachers.
