Sažetak
Increasing teacher attrition rates are a large problem
in countries around the world. Therefore, researchers
are trying to examine both risk and protective factors for
teachers' intentions to quit. This study examined teachers'
flow at work as a potential protective factor for teachers'
intentions to quit. Teachers' intentions to quit were
measured at the beginning and the end of the school
year with two items, while flow at work was measured
with WOLF scale in the middle of the school year,
involving 726 teachers with an average of 16 years
of teaching experience participating across three time
points. Results have shown that teachers' intentions to
quit were quite stable during the school year. Teachers'
intentions to quit both at the beginning and at the end
of the school year were negatively associated with flow
experienced in the middle of the school year. The tested
mediation model showed that flow while teaching was a
partial mediator of the association between teachers'
intentions to quit during the school year, pointing to its
protective role for teachers.
