Abstract

This study aims to explore the impact mechanism of occupational stress and teaching efficacy on turnover intention among primary
school PE teachers, and to verify the mediating role of psychological resilience. The results show that occupational stress significantly and
positively predicts turnover intention, while teaching efficacy significantly and negatively predicts turnover intention; psychological resilience
plays a partial mediating role between occupational stress and turnover intention, as well as between teaching efficacy and turnover intention.
This study reveals the psychological mechanism behind the formation of turnover intention among primary school PE teachers and enriches
the theoretical research in the field of teachers professional behavior.
