Abstract
The main goal is to determine the importance and effect of careerism in the relationship between the levels of intolerance of uncertainty and the work engagement of teachers working in private schools in Turkiye. For this purpose, randomly selected 238 data obtained from teachers were subjected to statistical analyses with a quantitative research model. As a result of the analyses, it was found that while the relationship between careerism and work engagement is significant, the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and its dimensions and work engagement is insignificant. There is a positive relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and careerism but it is seen that there is an insignificant relationship between preventive anxiety and careerism. To understand whether there is an indirect effect on the model, the bootstrap method is used and the BootLLCI value and the BootULCI value are examined (BootLLCI: -.2158 and BootULCI: -.1007). The coefficient value of the independent variable before including the mediating variable (careerism) in the model increased (from -.4007 to .0438). As a result, there is an indirect-only mediation according to Zhao method, and the indirect effect value of careerism between intolerance of uncertainty and work engagement is -.1566.
