Joining the western system of education has brought about many changes in teaching characteristics and style.
The Chi-square test was used to examine the significant differences of VD and NVD groups in demographic characteristics, living habits, teaching characteristics, health condition, voice symptoms, physical discomfort, and daily life.
Moreover, the best predictors of the global effectiveness rating are teaching characteristics such as clarity, enthusiasm, organization, and they contribute far more than non-teaching factors such as attractiveness.
Mediation analysis for the full sample indicates substantial positive relations between (a) teachers' work enjoyment and teaching characteristics, and between (b) teaching characteristics and students' enjoyment of lessons.
However, positive relations between teaching characteristics and students' enjoyment vary in strength across the three contrasted vocational domains, and the same applies to positive associations between teachers' enjoyment and teaching characteristics.
Our results do not indicate that the type of vocational training systematically alters the strength of relations between work enjoyment and teaching characteristics, or between teaching characteristics and lesson enjoyment (Models 4 6 in Additional file 1: Table SD).
Mathematically, this finding arises from varying strengths of associations not only between teaching characteristics and lesson enjoyment but also between work enjoyment and teaching characteristics in the comparison groups.
We examined the factorial structure of teaching characteristics through Chi square difference tests with the Satorra-Bentler scaled Chi square.
H3: Consistent with explanatory models of emotional crossover, teachers' enjoyment should be associated with students' enjoyment via observable teaching characteristics.
Our unexpected finding that the relational strength between work enjoyment and teaching characteristics differs between teachers for distinct occupational areas leaves ample room for interpretation.
