  ABSTRACT: This study explored how teachers’ perceptions of sharing the prevailing goals and values at school (shared values) and their experiences of working in a positive and supportive social environment (social support from colleagues and the school leadership) were related to their motivation (job satisfaction and engagement) and their sense of institutional belonging. We were particularly interested in examining potential mediation processes. The participants in the study were 1145 Norwegian teachers. The data were analyzed using correlation and structural equation modeling (SEM). Two SEM models were tested: one with supportive colleagues and supportive school leadership as exogenous variables, and one with shared values as a single exogenous variable. The zero-order correlations showed that shared values, supportive colleagues, and supportive school leadership were positively and moderately intercorrelated (r = .49 to r = .53) and that all these variables were positively associated with teacher job satisfaction, engagement, and sense of belonging. The results of the SEM analysis indicate complex mediation processes, suggesting that shared values and social support influence each other reciprocally.
