摘要

Perceived overqualification has attracted increasing attention in the literature. However, less is known about its effect on teachers’ outcomes. Using conservation of resources (COR) theory as the theoretical basis, this study sheds light on why and when teachers’ perceived overqualification influences their intention to leave the profession. In doing so, we develop and test a moderated mediation model by investigating the mediating role of work enjoyment and the moderating role of competitive psychological climate. In a sample of 151 teachers from Greek public schools, results demonstrated that work enjoyment mediates the relationship between perceived overqualification and intention to leave the profession and, further, this indirect effect is contingent on competitive psychological climate. Implications and future directions are also discussed.
