Keywords: teacher, engagement, systematic review
Abstracts: This systematic review aims to identify the various antecedents, outcomes, and dynamics of engagement as
a state, whereas the development of research on engagement leads to a state concept. The search was
conducted in September 2017 using four e-databases: ScienceDirect, ERIC, ProQuest, and psycINFO.
Review methods followed the PRISMA-P 2015 guideline. Through the screening process, 33 articles were
obtained and included in this study. Ninety-nine factors that affect teacher engagement were identified and
grouped into five topics: job resources, personal resources, job demands, psychosocial variables, and
demographic variables. A total of 11 outcomes were grouped into three topics: performance, social
outcomes, and personal outcomes. The dynamics of teachers’ engagement is explained only by the tendency
to change throughout their career as a result of personal and organizational influences. The definition of
work engagement used in all these studies refers to Schaufeli, in which work engagement is considered a
state. However, no single study has illustrated the dynamics of work engagement as a state, in detail.
1 INTRODUCTION
Educational institutions require teachers as its
primary driving force. Teachers play a central role in
increasing students’ success and implementing
educational policy. Every positive change in the
school environment invariably involves a teacher’s
role in implementing, maintaining, and evaluating
those changes (Chen, Lattuca, and Hamilton, 2008;
Clifton and Harter, 2003). Teachers’ significant role
in school, especially in the classroom, makes the
study of teachers' engagement relevant to the
management of every school. Engagement appears
to provide considerable impact towards job
satisfaction, participation at work, positive
aspirations towards future careers, resilience, and
reducing absenteeism (Parker, Martin, Colmar, and
Liem, 2012).
Teachers' work engagement is related to
increasing job satisfaction, work productivity, and
students' engagement (Parker et al., 2012). Teaching
is a profession that has special characteristics that
must be considered. The general requirements of
teaching as a profession are closely related to their
primary duties, which are to teach, to educate, to
plan lessons, to evaluate, and to provide counselling.
Alhough, in general, teachers’ primary duties are
identical, teachers are responsible for creating a
unique learning experience in the classroom. In
other words, teachers have to handle different
situations with varying demands and resources
(Doyle, 1986). Prior researches show that teachers
are prone to experiencing burnout and stress at the
highest level of overall job concomitance and a high
level of fatigue and cynicism (Hakanen, Bakker, and
Schaufeli, 2006; Johnson et al., 2005). Therefore, it
is important to study and assess teachers’
engagement. To date, there is an inadequate level of
systematic review and documentation related to
teacher engagement.
There are considerable amount of research about
teacher engagement that have been published;
however, it has not been reviewed systematically. A
systematic review is necessary to identify
antecedents, consequences, and an understanding of
work engagement as a psychological state. The
result of systematic review study might become a
reference for researchers who have an interest in
developing or replicating a study with a similar
topic.
Work engagement is defined as a state of mind,
which is indicated by the presence of vigor,
dedication, and absorption (Schaufeli, Salanova,
Gonzalez-Roma, and Bakker, 2002). In studies with

an educational context, the teachers’ engagement
construct is emphasized to describe work
engagement, which is specific to teachers. Studies
of teachers’ engagement is mainly explored using
the job-demands resources model. This model
examines various job demands and personal
resources, which differentiate between teachers who
experience fatigue and those who do not. It also
distinguishes teacher who engage with their work
and those who are disengaged. Teacher engagement
is conceptualized by Klassen, Yerdelen, and
Durksen (2013) based on Kahn’s (1990) definition
as a motivational construct, which encompasses four
dimensions, which, among others, are cognitive
engagement (CE), emotional engagement (EE),
social engagement: student (SES) and social
engagement: colleagues (SEC). Cognitive
engagement (CE) is indicated by the presence of
passion, persistence, and devotion to teach.
Emotional engagement (EE) is manifested in
positive emotional response during work. Social
engagement: student (SES) is demonstrated by the
extent of warmth given by teachers to students, their
commitment, and connectedness. Meanwhile, social
engagement: colleagues (SEC) is demonstrate
through the degree of warmth, commitment, and
effort to maintain a responsible relationship with
colleagues.
The vast majority of work engagement studies
have attempted to explain work engagement by
using an inter-individual approach. Earlier
researches have managed to explain antecedents and
consequences, as well as describing a means to
establish work engagement using the
aforementioned approach, by measuring and
comparing each individual degree of engagement
(Schaufeli, 2012). Numerous studies used an inter
individual approach due to its view of engagement
as a static trait. In other words, engagement is
considered to be permanent in an individual. Several
of the latest researches employing an inter-
individual approach, showed that teachers'
engagement fluctuates regularly. This fluctuation
depends on the event that occurs during the working
day (Sonnetag, 2003; Xanthopoulou dkk, 2008;
Xanthopoulou et al., 2009; Baker and Bal, 2010;
Schaufeli, 2014; Kirkpatrick and Johnson, 2014;
Makikangas, Hyvonen, and Feldt, 2017). Generally
speaking, the notion of engagement is a state
consistent with the definition of engagement
proposed by Kahn (1990) and Schaufeli et al (2002).
In terms of an intra-personal approach, the state in
the engagement is focused on the fluctuation of
vigor, dedication, and absorption during a short
period (daily or weekly basis) (Sonnetag, Dormann,
and Demerouti, 2010).
The aim of this literature review is to
systematically examine antecedents or factors that
influence the outcomes of, and describe dynamics of
teachers' engagement as a state. Therefore, the
research questions behind this systematic review are:
1. What factors are known to influence or predict
work engagement in teaching practice?
2. What outcomes are known to be associated with
work engagement in teaching practice?
3. How is the dynamic of work engagement a state
in teaching practice?
2 METHOD
This study used Preferred Reporting Items for
Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses for Protocols
2015 (PRISMA-P 2015) for its guidelines.
PRISMA-P 2015 consists of a 17-item checklist
intended to facilitate the preparation and reporting of
a robust protocol for a systematic review (Moher et
al., 2015). Protocol preparation is a critical
component of the systematic review process. It
ensures that the literature study being conducted
with scientific rigor, is documented explicitly before
commencing the study, is consistent, and ensures
transparency until the review process is complete
.
2.1 Search Strategy and Data Sources
The search strategy in this study employed four
electronic database resources, namely ScienceDirect,
ERIC, ProQuest, and psycINFO. A data search was
conducted in September 2017. Keywords used in the
databases were “work engagement” and “teacher”.
See Table 1 for the search strategy.

For the second selection of manuscripts/studies
(after the full text review), there were 33 with only
demographic data, such as gender and age.
2.2 Inclusion Criteria
The inclusion criteria applied were: 1) peer-
reviewed journals; 2) articles fully written in
English; 3) examining teachers' work engagement;
4) investigates antecedents, outcomes, and, or state
of work engagement; and 5) quantitative and
qualitative studies.
2.3 Screening
The initial screening was conducted by selecting all
the titles and abstracts that corresponded to the
inclusion criteria. Selected titles and abstracts from
the initial screening were then further selected based
on the inclusion criteria.
2.4 Data Extraction
Data that was extracted from articles involved the
writer’s name, the year, the name of the journal,
countries, aims, theoretical framework or model,
conceptualization or definition of work engagement,
methodological approach, sample or participants,
reported reliability and validity, data analysis
techniques, and the results.
2.5 Methodological Quality Review
The review of methodological quality was
performed by evaluating the study design, sampling
techniques (articles or participants), the
measurement or data collection process, and analysis
techniques (Cowden, Cummings, Profetto-McGrath,
2011; Cummings, MacGregor, Davey, Lee, Wong,
Lo, Muise, Stafford, 2010; Germain and Cummings,
2010).
2.6 Analysis
Data that had been extracted, was then synthesized
by using narrative-descriptive techniques. Reviews
carried out on teachers' work engagement outcomes
and factors, were considered influential to the
aforementioned construct. By using content analysis,
these influencing factors and teachers’ work
engagement outcomes were then grouped into
several topics. The Job Demands-Resource (JD-R)
model of work engagement was used in almost all of
studies that had been
reviewed. The identified topics
later compared with JD-R to discover consistent or
novel findings to expand the explanation of the JD-R
model. All the studies in this review applied a total
score of work engagement in the same manner as
Schaufeli dan Bakker (2003; in Bakker and
Demerouti, 2008).
3 RESULTS
3.1 Search Result
The initial screening process to which was applied
inclusion and exclusion criteria, yielded 121
manuscripts for which the full text would be
reviewed. There were 17 articles with unavailable
full texts, therefore they were omitted. Thirty-four
out of 63 full-text manuscripts explained their
methodology in a clear and detail manner. The 34
selected articles, which passed initial screening,
were then further selected based on more rigid
inclusion criteria. There was one article excluded
(Klassen, Yerdelen, and Durksen, 2013; Klassen
et.al, 2012) due to the aims which did not match this
study. In total, 33 articles were analyzed.
Among the 33 articles analyzed, three of the
articles were dissertations (Sokolov, 2017; Coleman,
2016; Munson, 2012). There were two articles with
qualitative study design (Kirkpatrick and Johnson,
2014; Mäkinen, 2013) and one article employing a
mixed-method study design (Munson, 2012), the rest
of the 28 articles were quantitative correlation
studies.
3.2 Summary of Methodological
Quality Assessment
A methodological quality assessment for
correlational studies was conducted by adapting
Cummings et al. (2010) and the method of Germain
and Cummings (2010), which consisted of
evaluating study design quality, a sampling
technique, measurement, a theoretical model/ the
framework used for guidance, and statistical
analysis. Meanwhile, for qualitative studies, an
assessment was performed by using criteria from the
Critical Skills Appraisal Program (CASP, 2010).

269
One study applied a mixed-method design wherein
the quantitative method became primary procedure,
whereas the qualitative method was applied to assist
the data analysis process, methodological quality
assessment through the application of quantitative
criteria. According to the methodological quality
assessment tool, 33 articles fulfilled 99% of the
listed criteria. However, the “are outliers managed"
criteria was unexplained in all quantitative study
articles.
3.3 Descriptive - Narrative Synthesis of
Result
During the analysis process, all of the articles used a
definition of engagement definition from Schaufeli,
Salanova, Gonzalez-Roma, and Bakker (2002) and
JD-R model (Bakker and Demerouti, 2008) to
describe theoretical framework and the work
engagement measurement (Schaufeli and Taris,
2014). The analysis result identified factors and
outcomes, which were aligned with the JD-R
engagement model.
Factors influencing teachers' engagement, cover:
1) Job resources topic, consisted of factors such as:
perception of trust in colleagues and students,
organizational support, and organizational
climate (Altunela, Kocak, and Cankir, 2015;
Song, Bae, Park, and Kim, 2013),
communication of learning goals, feedback or
evaluation of supervisor, leadership (Kulophas,
Hallinger, Ruengtrakul, Wongwanich, 2017;
Song, Bae, Park, and Kim, 2013); work-role fit
(Rothmann and Hamukang’andu, 2013), learning
and development opportunities (Altunela, Kocak,
and Cankir, 2015; Bakker and Bal, 2010), job
resource (autonomy, coaching, task significance)
(Altunela et al., 2015; Runhaar, Konermann, and
Sanders, 2013; Bakker et al., 2010), and job
satisfaction, and extra-role behavior (Skaalvik
and Skaalvik, 2013; Simbula and Guglielmi,
2013).
2) The personal resources topic, comprised of self-
efficacy (Buric and Macuka, 2017; Gumbau,
Salanova-Soria, 2014; Skaalvik and Skaalvik,
2014; Høigaard, Giske, and Sundsli, 2012),
calling orientation (Rothmann and
Hamukang’andu, 2013), teacher experience
(Amini and Siyyari, 2018); academic optimism
(Kulophas, Hallinger, Ruengtrakul, Wongwanich,
2017), career satisfaction (Timms and Brough,
2013), role conflict and ambiguity (Bermejo-
Toro, Prieto-Ursúa, and Hernandez, 2015), belief
about teaching and teacher ability to approach
mastery (Hana, Yin, and Wang, 2015), hope,
resilience or buoyancy, and coping style
(Munson, 2012; Parker and Martin, 2009),
teacher goal orientation (Skaalvik and Skaalvik,
2013), mental health problems (Simbula and
Guglielmi, 2013), compassion (Eldor and
Shoshani, 2016), negative emotion (Buric et.al,
2017), psychological capital (Coleman, 2016),
and personalities (Perera, Granziera, Mclleven,
2018; Li, Wang, and You, 2017).
3) Job demand topics shaped by two factors, namely
work overload and challenging behaviour from
students (Bermejo-Toro et al, 2015).
4) The psychosocial topic consisted of six factors,
which were students' social background
(Klusmann, Kunter, Trautwein, Ludtke, and
Baumert, 2008), social support and parental
involvement (Bermejo-Toro et al., 2015; Bakker
et al., 2010), control, reward, fairness, and work-
life balance (Timms et al., 2013).
5) The demographic variables topic involved two
factors, namely gender and age (Guglielmi, Bruni,
Simbula, Fraccaroli, and Depolo, 2015; Runhaar
et al., 2013).
Teachers’ work engagement outcomes include:
1) The performance topic, which contains five
consequences, namely OCB and teaching
performance (Scheepers, Arah, Heineman, and
Lombart, 2014), teaching intention (Shuo Chen,
2017), number of differented instructional
formats used in each class, and time to use
instruction (Sokolov, 2017).
2) Social or organizational topic outcomes
consisting of three consequences, namely attitude
toward student and perception of organizational
trust (Gülbahar, 2017).
3) The personal outcomes topic covers five
consequences: job satisfaction (Skaalvik and
Skaalvik, 2013; Simbula et al., 2013), burnout
(Amini and Siyyari, 2018; Gumbau et al., 2014;
Hakanen, Bakker, and Schaufeli, 2006), intention
to quit (Høigaard, Giske, and Sundsli, 2012),
commitment (Hana, Yin, and Wang, 2015), and
mental health problems (Simbula et al., 2013).
A review of teachers’ engagement dynamics
showed several findings:
1) Teachers’ engagement was inclined to change
throughout their career and was formed by both
personal or organizational influences
(Kirkpatrick and Johnson, 2014).
2) There were dissimilarities between teachers’
engagement types in some studies. For example,
Kirkpatrick and Johnson (2014) proposed three
types of teacher engagement, namely modified
ICP-HESOS 2018 - International Conference on Psychology in Health, Educational, Social, and Organizational Settings

engagement, focused engagement, and
diversified engagement. Another study by
Makinen (2013) suggested different categories of
engagement, namely one-size-fits-all, engaging
in didactic pedagogy, and engaging in
transformational teaching.
There were very limited number of qualitative
designed studies that could illustrate the process and
dynamics of work engagement fluctuation in detail.
Gaining an understanding of the dynamics of
teachers’ work engagement will potentially guide
efforts to encourage and sustain the engagement
itself.
4 DISCUSSION
The findings of this study offered a more
comprehensive understanding of teachers'
engagement. The result provided insights in term of
antecedents and outcomes, which are unique to
teachers. It clarified knowledge discrepancy and
served as fundamental for study in the professional
teaching field.
During the analysis process, synthesized findings
were compared with the Job Demands-Resources
(JD-R)model, which was mostly used in work
engagement studies. However, the aforementioned
model was considered inadequate to describe several
essential variables in teachers' work engagement,
such as psychosocial variables (e.g., students' social
background and parents involvement in students'
educational process). The JD-R model actually has
limitations, namely specificity and an in-depth
explanation of the process between the concept in
the model (Schaufeli and Taris, 2014).
The JD-R model was inclined to be a heuristic
and descriptive model rather than explanatory; thus,
it is necessary for the researcher to provide an
additional theoretical framework to explain the
psychological mechanism that occurred. This
psychological mechanism referred to relationship
between job demands, resources, and outcomes of
work engagement process. However, this JD-R
model was mostly used due to its generalizability
and flexibility, which was suitable with teachers'
current work engagement study trends.
The association between control and rewards
with teachers' work engagement still gains minimum
attention. Generally, the job of teachers job demands
a considerable overload; moreover they have to deal
with students' challenging behavior, thus it is
logically acceptable that control and rewards for
teachers should be given more attention (Bermejo-
Toro et al., 2015).
Leadership and organizational support have also
become key factors to encourage teachers' work
engagement (Kulophas et al., 2017; Song et al.,
2013). There was strong correlation between these
two variables and teachers' work engagement. The
head teacher’s role, which manifested from
transformational leadership, was critical to develop
high levels of engagement in teachers. Leadership
roles were not there merely to give feedback to
teachers, but also to provide support (Altunela et al.,
2015; Song, Bae, Park, and Kim, 2013),
communicate study aims, and facilitate teachers with
learning opportunities (Kulophas et al., 2017;
Altunela et al., 2015; Song et al., 2013; Bakker and
Bal, 2010).
The outcomes of this study were expected to
bring some attention towards teachers' professional
factors in future studies. Bakker and Demerouti
(2008) and several other work engagement
researchers mainly focused on organizational
outcomes of work engagement or performance.
However, this systematic review discovered that
personal factor variables dominated studies and
corresponded to teachers' engagement. Teachers'
work engagement outcomes mostly contribute
benefits to teacher as individuals rather than
organizational level outcomes.
Several studies applied flagged analysis and
feedback demonstrated that antecedents variables
might became outcomes in relation to work
engagement. Among others were job satisfaction,
self-efficacy, and mental health (Skaalvik and
Skaalvik, 2013; Simbula and Guglielmi, 2013). In
fact, the result of this study also indicates its
drawbacks. The articles reviewed were limited to
correlational studies. Correlational studies merely
indicated the relationship between variables. Thus,
the researcher was unable to conclude any influence
or causal relationships between variables. Therefore,
future research should consider including teachers'
work engagement studies, which utilize
experimental or longitudinal design.
4.1 Implications for Teachers'
Professional Practice
The review findings showed that personal resources
and professionalism corresponded with work
engagement. Identification towards specific
variables from job demands and resources
significantly contributed towards teachers as

271
individuals and the development of their
professionalism.
4.2. Implications for Leaders and Policy
Maker
The responsibility of improving work engagement is
not solely a teacher’s individual duty, but extends to
the practical environment, such as the organization
and educational system. Therefore, it is important
for this issue to be taken into consideration when
stakeholders and policy makers wish to improve
teachers' professionalism. Leadership, organizational
support (i.e. a supportive organizational climate,
coaching, and training availability) and family and
social support are also associated with teachers'
work engagement.
5 CONCLUSIONS AND
LIMITATIONS
This systematic review’s findings showed that both
individual and organizational factors were related to
influencing teachers' work engagement. Teachers'
work engagement also provides both positive and
negative consequences on an individual and
organizational level.
These literature review findings suggest further
study to consider applying the JD-R model to
explain teachers' work engagement. However,
subsequent studies should consider teachers' work
engagement, social resources, and outcomes. This is
because teachers' duties require them to intensively
build and maintain social relationships, especially
with students, parents, and colleagues.
The results of this study could be grounding to
develop various studies of teachers' work
engagement antecedents and consequences based on
teachers' social resources. Furthermore, a future
study could develop an instrument to measure
teachers' work engagement. However, the described
teachers' work engagement still had some limitations.
These solely consider engagement as a trait. The
explanation of teachers' engagement as a state, by
depicting its dynamics, requires further
comprehensive study. Aside from contribution
towards the work engagement theoretical gap,
gaining a comprehensive understanding about the
dynamics of engagement could contribute towards
the establishment of evidence-based intervention for
teachers.
There were few things that had been taken into
consideration before conducting this study and it
became our limitation. Among others were that this
literature review exclusively analyzed articles about
teachers' work engagement without considering
schools' context (i.e. level of education and
environment). Including the schools' context in the
search keywords may lead to different articles. Most
of the analyzed articles were correlational design
studies, therefore it was impossible to draw any
causal relationship that could directly support
specific variables of a causal claim. Thus,
antecedent variables and outcome variables could
not be used interchangeably.
