The population of this study consists of teachers in hospitality and tourism departments in senior high schools and vocational high schools. A survey study was conducted, using the “Teachers’ Teaching Effectiveness Questionnaire” and the “Teachers’ Sense of Well-being Questionnaire” as research instruments. A stratified sampling method was adopted, and valid responses from 313 teachers were collected. The researchers interviewed seven teachers to verify the findings from the questionnaire survey. The combined results are as follows. (1) Teachers in departments of hospitality and tourism in high schools and vocational high schools scored above average in teaching effectiveness and sense of well-being, and demonstrated better results in “Class management” and “Self-discipline and Altruism.” (2) The pre-eminent factors influencing teaching effectiveness and sense of well-being are “Age” and “Marital Status,” respectively. (3) Married mothers, aged over 28 years and with more seniority, have better teaching effectiveness, followed by married teachers with a child, aged above fifty-one years, who have a higher sense of well-being. (4) Married teachers with a child scored higher than unmarried teachers did, for both teaching effectiveness and teachers’ sense of well-being. (5) Positive correlations existed between teaching effectiveness and teachers’ sense of well-being. (6) Teachers’ sense of well-being could be forecast precisely based on the statistical analyses of teaching effectiveness. Among teaching effectiveness factors, “Learning Effectiveness and Assess-ment” is the pre-eminent forecasting factor. (7) The teachers’ sense of well-being was enhanced when they attended the continuing professional development schools because they worked harder at their teaching, and the students also improved continuously. Finally, based on our research findings, the authors offered some suggestions and recommendations for future research. |
