EFFECT OF GROWTH MINDSET ON WORK VALUES OF SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS

Abstract

The aim of this research was to investigate the Effect of growth mindset on the work values of secondary school teachers. A quantitative design with a causal-comparative research design was used. All the teachers in public secondary schools in the District of Lahore were the target population, but stratified random sampling was used to select a sample of 810 teachers. Two instruments were used to collect data, including the Growth Mindset Scale developed by Khunaprom and Chansirisira (2023) and the Work Values Questionnaire (WVQ) developed by the researcher. The statistical data analysis was conducted by using SPSS and Amos. Descriptive statistics were used to calculate the level of growth mindset and work values of teachers, and Pearson correlation was used to examine the correlation between variables. Regression analysis was used to determine the effect of growth mindset on work values. The results indicated that teachers had an average score in terms of growth mindset and a moderate score in work values. The results also showed that there was a statistically significant positive relationship between growth mindset and work values. The proposed study adds to the existing body of literature regarding increasing awareness of the psychological belief of growth mindset and work value of teachers.
