Most domestic quantitative studies on the relationship between teachers’psychological capital and job satisfaction adopted cross-sec¬tional designs, with a lack of systematic and quantitative reviews. This study employed a meta-analytic approach to synthesize relevant empiri¬cal studies conducted in Taiwan from 2000 to January 2025. A total of 21 studies involving 9,145 participants were included to examine the overall relationship between teachers’psychological capital and job satisfaction, as well as to explore potential moderating effects of predictor variables. The findings revealed that psychological capital and its subdimen¬sions—self-efficacy, hope, resilience, and optimism—had moderate and positive effect sizes on job satisfaction under the random-effects mod¬el (r = .493, .419, .448, .432, and .463, respectively). Moderator analyses showed that school level, geographic region, and publication year sig¬nificantly influenced the strength of the relationship. Specifically, kin¬dergarten, elementary, and cross-level teachers demonstrated higher ef¬fect sizes than junior high and high school teachers. Teachers from cen¬tral and southern Taiwan also showed stronger associations than those from northern or nationwide samples. Moreover, studies published after 2021 reported higher effect sizes compared to those conducted between 2011‒2015 and 2016‒2020. Significant differences were also found when gender, teaching experience, and teacher age were considered as mod¬erators. However, no significant moderating effects were observed for job position, educational attainment, or marital status. By adopting a meta-analytic method, this study enhanced the valid¬ity and stability of findings through the integration of diverse quantita¬tive data. It also examined heterogeneity and potential moderator vari¬ables, assessed publication bias, and provided a scientifically grounded reference for both educational research and practice regarding the link between teachers’psychological capital and job satisfaction. This study further served as an anchor point for future research in this field. |
