Özet
The present study examines the potential mediating role of participation in continuous professional development (CPD) activities in the relationship among contextual factors, resilience, and teacher job satisfaction, with job satisfaction conceptualized as the dependent variable. The participants consisted of 300 L2 teaching staff working in elementary schools, high schools, and universities. Four data collection instruments were employed. The first instrument was the Professional Development Scale (PDS), developed by de Vries et al. (2010), which includes three subdimensions: updating activities, reflective activities, and collaborative activities. The second instrument was the Perceived School Context Scale (PSCS), developed by Skaalvik and Skaalvik (2010), which measures contextual aspects such as time pressure, autonomy, discipline problems, and supervisory support. The third instrument was the Resilience Scale, developed by Connor and Davidson (2003). Finally, teacher job satisfaction was measured using the Teacher Satisfaction Scale developed by Ho and Au (2006). The findings indicate that resilience, education level, autonomy, educational background, and updating activities significantly predict participation in CPD, and that CPD activities mediate the relationship between resilience and teacher job satisfaction.
