Abstract
This study aims to investigate the influence of psychological detachment behavior on work engagement among Chinese language teachers, and to verify the mediating role of Work-Related Well-Being (WWB) in this relationship. Given the limited research in Chinese academia on psychological detachment and work engagement among Chinese teachers related to Chinese language teaching, this study examines how teachers enhance their work engagement through psychological detachment behavior by improving their work-related well-being based on conservation of resources (COR) theory . This study conducted a snowball sampling method for questionnaire data collection, involving 130 Chinese teachers. Statistical and regression analyses were conducted using SPSS 25.0, leading to three conclusions: (1) Psychological detachment positively affects work engagement among Chinese teachers; (2) Work-related Well-Being positively affects work engagement; (3) Work-related Well-Being partially mediates the relationship between psychological detachment and work engagement. The findings provide insights for Thai universities to establish more effective management systems for teachers related to Chinese language teaching and offer new perspectives for educational institutions and policymakers.
