ABSTRACT
Teachers’ assessment practices are vital for developing school organization, including teacher performance and students’ achievement. This study aims to investigate teachers’ assessment practices through mindfulness, psychological capital, and emotional engagement, along with discovering a novelty in mediating the role of emotional engagement on the relationship between mindfulness and psychological capital with teachers’ assessment practices. The researchers created a Likert scale model questionnaire and shared it with 522 government-employed Indonesian langugage teachers of senior high school determined by accidental sampling from eleven city in Riau Province, Indonesia. Structural equation modeling supported by correlational, descriptive, and common method bias analyses is used in data analysis. Mindfulness, psychological capital, and emotional engagement were found having a direct influence on teachers’ assessment practices. Furthermore, emotional engagement has mediated the indirect influence of mindfulness and psychological capital on teachers’ assessment practices. It has been established that a novel model of emotional engagement mediates the impact of mindfulness and psychological capital on teachers’ assessment practices. As an implication, teachers’ assessment practices can be increased through improved mindfulness, psychological capital, and emotional engagement. Therefore, the new empirical model can be discussed in-depth and critically before being used and modified by researchers and practitioners in the future.
