The Mediating Effect of Organizational Trust on the Relationship Between Vocational Calling and Job Satisfaction Among Childcare Teachers

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of organizational trust on the relationship between vocational calling and job satisfaction among childcare teachers. Methods: A total of 205 childcare teachers from the capital area participated in this study and were asked to complete all survey questions. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis with SPSS 28.0. Model 4 of the PROCESS macro version 4.3 was employed to examine the mediation model. Results: The mediating effect of organizational trust on the relationship between vocational calling and job satisfaction among childcare teachers was found to be significant. Conclusion/Implications: The results highlight the importance of individual attitudes and perspectives toward work by demonstrating how a childcare teacher's vocational calling leads to organizational trust and, subsequently, job satisfaction. An individual’s sense of calling, along with their efforts to maintain a positive outlook and influence within their organization and among colleagues, is believed to be crucial.
