Abstract

The current study, following a mixed-methods design, aims to determine the possible predictors of teacher success in teacher emotions, teacher energy, and teacher time perspective. The study also explores the role that teacher emotions, teacher energy, and teacher time perspective perform in teacher success. In so doing, a number of 234 secondary school teachers participated in the study based on criterion sampling, and a pool of seven teachers participated in the qualitative phase of the study based on the data saturation method. The results obtained from the Pearson correlation coefficient confirmed a significant relationship between teacher emotions, teacher energy, teacher time perspective, and teacher success. Moreover, the results of Multiple Regression revealed that the possible predictors of teacher success were teacher emotions and teacher time perspective. Following inter-rater and inter-coder reliability, the commonalities elicited from teachers’ responses to the interviews yielded six codes. Finally, the study offers some practical implications for teachers.
