Abstract

If schools want to be invincible in the fierce competition in education, they need to focus on the housing conditions and sustainable development of educators, so as to improve their satisfaction in order to promote the quality of education. This paper constructs an analytical model of educators’ housing conditions on education quality and teachers’ job satisfaction through multiple linear regression model, and tests the difference between education quality and teachers’ job satisfaction under different educators’ housing conditions. Both educational quality and teacher job satisfaction are significantly affected by educators’ housing conditions at the 1% level. For every 1 unit increase in educators’ housing conditions, the level of educational quality can be increased by 0.176 units. Teachers’ job satisfaction has a significant mediating effect of 22.81 per cent of the mediating effect of educators’ housing conditions on the improvement of education quality. Adequate consideration of housing conditions of educators can achieve sustainable development of educators, which can help to improve teachers’ job satisfaction, and then improve the level of education quality.
