Abstract
IN ENGLISH: This study examines whether music teachers’ employment contract type moderates the relationships between psychological factors—work-related flow, self-efficacy, and musical calling—and their intention to remain in the profession. Participants were 293 music teachers (70.9% female) from 55 elementary and upper secondary music schools in Croatia. On average, teachers reported frequent flow experiences, high self-efficacy, strong musical calling, and strong intention to remain in the profession. Preliminary correlational analyses indicated positive associations between all three psychological factors and intention to stay; however, structural equation modelling revealed that only self-efficacy had a significant direct effect. Additionally, holding a full-time permanent contract, compared to a part-time and/or temporary contract, positively predicted intention to remain in the profession. Significant moderation effects were observed between flow and contract type, as well as between self-efficacy and contract type, indicating that the associations with intention to remain were more pronounced among teachers holding part-time and/or temporary contracts compared to those with full-time permanent contracts. The moderation effect of musical calling and contract type was not confirmed. Specifically, the results indicate that self-efficacy, as a personal resource, and flow, conceptualized as an indicator of work engagement within the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) framework, serve as more salient facilitating factors for music teachers employed under less favourable contract conditions. Accordingly, efforts to strengthen work-related self-efficacy and flow are likely to have a greater impact on music teachers with part-time and/or temporary contracts in supporting their intention to remain in the profession. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Rad ispituje moderira li vrsta ugovora o radu odnos između psiholoških čimbenika—zanesenosti poslom, samoefikasnosti i glazbenog poziva—te namjere nastavnika glazbe da ostanu u profesiji. Sudionici su bili 293 nastavnika glazbe (70,9 % žena) iz 55 osnovnih i srednjih glazbenih škola u Hrvatskoj. U prosjeku, nastavnici glazbe su izvještavali o čestim doživljajima zanesenosti poslom, visokoj samoefikasnosti, snažnom osjećaju glazbenog poziva te izraženoj namjeri ostanka u profesiji. Preliminarne korelacijske analize pokazale su pozitivne povezanosti sva tri psihološka čimbenika s namjerom ostanka; međutim, strukturalno modeliranje otkrilo je da jedino samoefikasnost ima značajan izravan učinak. Nadalje, posjedovanje ugovora na neodređeno vrijeme s punom satnicom, u usporedbi s posjedovanjem drugih vrsta ugovora (na određeno vrijeme i/ili s nepunom satnicom), pozitivno je predviđalo namjeru ostanka u profesiji. Značajni moderacijski učinci utvrđeni su između zanesenosti poslom i vrste ugovora, kao i između samoefikasnosti i vrste ugovora, koji pokazuju da su povezanosti s namjerom ostanka u profesiji izraženije među nastavnicima s ugovorima na određeno vrijeme i/ili s nepunom satnicom nego među onima s ugovorima na neodređeno vrijeme s punom satnicom. Moderacijski učinak glazbenog poziva i vrste ugovora nije potvrđen. Rezultati ukazuju da samoefikasnost, kao osobni resurs, i zanesenost poslom, konceptualizirana kao pokazatelj radne angažiranosti unutar okvira teorije radnih zahtjeva i resursa, imaju izraženiju ulogu olakšavajućih čimbenika kod nastavnika glazbe zaposlenih pod manje povoljnim ugovornim uvjetima. Shodno tome, napori usmjereni na jačanje radne samoefikasnosti i iskustava zanesenosti vjerojatno će imati veći učinak u podržavanju namjere ostanka u profesiji među nastavnicima glazbe s ugovorima na određeno vrijeme i/ili s nepunom satnicom.
