{"abstract":"This study investigated teachers’ work engagement and its relationship with creativity and innovation to develop a Technical Assistance Manual for public elementary schools. Creativity was defined as generating novel ideas, and innovation as implementing them. An explanatory sequential mixed-method design was used, with quantitative data from 144 public elementary school teachers followed by qualitative interviews with eight school heads. A validated instrument measured psychological, physical, cognitive, and emotional work engagement, and creativity and innovation in terms of idea generation, identification of impactful ideas, and implementation. Teachers showed a high level of work engagement (M = 4.53) and high engagement in creativity and innovation (M = 4.33), excelling in idea generation and identification but needing improvement in implementation. A strong, positive correlation was found between work engagement and creativity and innovation (r = .781, p < .001). Qualitative findings indicated that psychological availability, cognitive engagement, and psychological safety needed support, while time constraints, resistance to change, insufficient training, limited resources, and unclear understanding of innovation hindered implementation. These findings informed the development of a Technical Assistance Manual, designed to address needs through coaching, mentoring, collaboration, professional learning, resource support, and strategies for implementing innovative instructional practices. The study emphasizes strengthening teachers’ work engagement to foster creativity and innovation.","abstract_source":"gemini_shortened","authors":["Rosette Eseo"],"date":"2026-10-15","doi":"10.70838/PEMJ.640501","id":11085,"issue":5,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"24b99ff2f43a609e4ebbc44e39503a98dc8275dd6d6ce2d41dea3438a848d333","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"Teachers’ Work Engagement as a Correlate of Creativity and Innovation: Basis for a Technical Assistance Manual","volume":64}
