Abstract:
This study delves into the dynamics between teacher support adaptivity and parental engagement within the context of Chinese kindergartens. Drawing from Bandura’s concept of self-efficacy and recent scholarly contributions from Chinese researchers, this research aims to explore the intricate relationship between teacher support adaptivity and parental engagement in early childhood education. Through meticulous data collection via questionnaire surveys, 285 valid responses were gathered from participants within Chinese kindergartens. Employing rigorous statistical analyses including descriptive analysis, analysis of variance, and regression analysis using SPSS 26.0, the study unearthed significant insights. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between teacher support adaptivity, parental engagement, and work performance in Chinese kindergartens. A total of 305 valid questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS 26.0, employing descriptive, variance, and regression analyses. Results indicated a positive correlation between teacher support adaptivity, parental engagement, and work performance, suggesting that improved teacher traits positively influence organizational climate and subsequently enhance work performance. The study innovatively examined the role of parental engagement as an intermediary variable, contributing to the understanding of leadership dynamics in educational settings. Moreover, it offers insights for the development of training programs tailored for women leaders in Chinese universities, potentially benefiting both female and male leaders in educational leadership roles.
