A Study on the Impact of Childcare Teachers' Teaching Personality and Job Satisfaction on Respect for the Rights of Infants and Young Children

This study investigated how childcare teachers' teaching personality and job satisfaction influence respect for the rights of infants and young children. Conducted through an online survey over three weeks beginning in January 2024, the research gathered 312 valid responses from 330 participants, excluding incomplete submissions. The findings revealed that childcare teachers exhibited high levels of teaching personality, respect for children’s rights, and job satisfaction, in that order, with a significant correlation among these factors. Additionally, factors related to the childcare environment and welfare were identified as having the greatest impact on teachers' respect for infants' rights. Both teaching personality and job satisfaction were found to significantly influence various child rights, including the rights to life, protection, development, and participation. Based on these results, the study emphasizes the importance of prioritizing these factors to enhance childcare teachers' respect for the rights of infants and young children.
