摘要

This study investigates the role of calling within the teaching profession, proposing an explanatory model that examines the relationships between calling, career competencies, occupational self-efficacy, life satisfaction and subjective career success. Utilising structural equation modelling (SEM) and data collected from a sample of 801 Romanian teachers, the study evaluates how a strong sense of career calling enhances occupational self-efficacy and perceived competencies, which in turn influence both subjective career success and overall life satisfaction. Results underscore the centrality of a calling orientation in teaching, suggesting its integration as a focus within teacher education programs to support career development and personal fulfilment.
