Abstract

Based on the background of Chinese education reform and Chinese cultural values, the paper aims to develop a good reliable and valid scale to measure the job embeddedness of Chinese primary school teachers. To achieve the above purpose, first, we created these domains and items through an analysis of previous literature and an opened questionnaire survey of Chinese primary school teachers. Second, three experts and scholars from education and psychology evaluated the content validity of the scale. Finally, we randomly selected 534 Chinese primary school teachers to form a sample, and then tested the reliability and validity of the scale by SPSS and Amos software. We found that the scale of Chinese primary school teachers’ job embeddedness consists of five domains, including 28 items. The reliability and validity of the scale is acceptable. The five domains were named “fit to organization”, “fit to community”, “organization-related sacrifice”, “links to community” and “fit to family”. Therefore, we come to the following conclusions: first, the structural model of job embeddedness of Chinese primary school teachers consists of five dimensions. Second, the scale gets a good reliability and validity.
