ABSTRACT: With the youth trend of teachers in university, young teachers have become
the new and core force of higher education. Motivating the work engagement of
young university teachers is an important task in the construction of talent
system and human resource management in university. By means of quantitative
research, the correlation mechanism of psychological safety, relational identification and young teachers’ engagement was
explored in this paper. The results showed that there were significant
positive correlations between psychological safety, coworker relational
identification, teacher-students relational identification and emotional
engagement. And the coworker relational identification,
teacher-students relational identification and behavioral engagement had
the significant positive correlations. Furthermore, there was a significant
positive correlation between emotional engagement and behavioral engagement, while the correlation was limited. On
this basis, suggestions were made to help improve the engagement of
young teachers. Specifically, quantitative
analysis techniques of personality traits and ability structures should
be introduced into the recruitment process, combine the orientation of the school-running and the individual characteristics of the teachers
to carry out different career planning and create a positive
interpersonal atmosphere with a system of
protection for the growth of young teacher.
