We developed a new survey instrument to investigate teacher educators’ motives for entering the profession and examined the associations between motives and job satisfaction and emotional exhaustion in both teachers and teacher educators. Using data from 145 teacher educators instructing in-service teachers, we identified four motives: career aspirations, social contribution, escaping routines, and coincidence. While escaping routines represents a ‘push’ factor associated with emotional exhaustion in teachers, career aspirations represent a ‘pull’ factor associated with job satisfaction in teacher educators. The instrument can be used as a self-assessment tool for the recruitment of teacher educators.

我们开发了一种新的调查工具来调查教师教育者进入该职业的动机，并研究了教师和教师教育者的动机与工作满意度和情绪疲惫之间的关联。使用来自145位指导在职教师的教师教育者的数据，我们确定了四个动机：职业理想，社会贡献，逃避例行工作和巧合。虽然逃脱例程表示“推”的因素在教师，情绪衰竭相关的职业理想代表与教师教育工作者的工作满意度相关的“拉动”因素。该工具可用作招募教师教育者的自我评估工具。
