Working conditions and performance of dance teachers in Chinese universities

This study determined the relationship between working conditions and performance of dance teachers in Chinese universities.The study employed a quantitative technique to examine the correlation of work circumstances, the management support, demographic factors and cultural-institutional variables in shaping the feelings and satisfaction levels of dances instructors.The data in this research were gathered through the questionnaire filled out by 323 educators, providing the foundation for comprehensive analysis.There is a positive correlation between working conditions and performance.The research identified that the managerial influence, health and safety practices and community involvement are the key ingredients that contribute towards job satisfaction.Speaking in terms of demographic factors that impact teachers' perception of their job conditions and overall job satisfaction, age, gender and length of experience are the most prominent.The paper also puts forward the existing balance between traditional and technologically advanced instructional methods, and it also underscores the relevance of this balance to job satisfaction and instructional effectiveness.The data revealed that huge concern for building better working spaces and having the right administration approach leads to higher job satisfaction and teaching effectiveness.The influence of these variables is obvious, yet the differential impact is discernible for different demographic groups, as well as the call for targeted approaches in policy and administration.Such insights would be rather consequential for both educators and those decision-makers in education who need to outline programs and to identify the means of making them more suited to the unique needs of people who teach dance.In light of the research, it is advised that educational institutions aim at improving supervisor-teacher relationships and invigorating health and safety standards so as to improve the overall conditions at workplace.Moreover, the sense of community building and the equal application of the traditional methods to the latest developments in the field of dance learning are the main factors which can make it successful.Planners of schools should take these areas into account of their planning as it would directly affect the quality of education at least in the Arts department.
