Istituti di istruzione superiore, qualità corpo docente, soddisfazione per la retribuzione, opportunità di apprendimento e crescitaAbstract
Negli istituti di istruzione superiore, che sono considerati la culla del sapere, il mantenimento/aggiornamento delle conoscenze da parte dei membri del corpo docente è diventato un tema cruciale. Basandosi su ricerche precedenti, il presente articolo si propone di analizzare l’impatto del livello di soddisfazione per la retribuzione recepita e delle opportunità di aggiornamento, apprendimento e crescita professionale sul mantenimento/sviluppo delle conoscenze da parte dei docenti negli istituti di istruzione superiore in Pakistan. Si tratta di uno studio di natura quantitativa, nella fattispecie di una ricerca sul campo che ha coinvolto un campione di 200 docenti a tempo pieno. Per esaminare l’ipotesi di studio, si è ricorso alla correlazione di Pearson e all’analisi della regressione. I risultati suggeriscono che entrambe le variabili indipendenti hanno un impatto significativo sul mantenimento delle conoscenze da parte dei membri del corpo docente, sebbene le opportunità di aggiornamento, apprendimento e crescita professionale abbiano una influenza superiore rispetto alla soddisfazione per la remunerazione economica. Lo studio suggerisce come comunque entrambi i fattori risultino indispensabili e come occorra investire su entrambi per conservare un corpo docente adeguato al proprio ruolo.
