Abstract:
Online teaching has become a cornerstone of educational continuity in the era of digital education. However, sustaining teacher engagement in online teaching persists as a critical barrier to teacher sustainability. This study aims to investigate how institutional support enhances teachers' work engagement through digital self-efficacy and negative emotions in online teaching. Participants were 232 K-12 teachers from different schools in China. A structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to confirm the initial model hypotheses regarding the relationship between variables.

Finally, implications for educational administrators and teachers were discussed, with a focus on the importance of focused interventions that address teachers' emotional and technological needs to improve their work engagement in online teaching.
