Harzer & Ruch, 2012, 2013, for a very similar approach).”
Teacher wellbeing: Its effects on teaching practice and student learning (2019, background): “…found that when individuals are aware of, and use their character strengths at work, they are more likely to feel positive emotion (Gander et al., 2013; Seligman, Steen, Park & Peterson, 2005), experience job satisfaction, pleasure, engagement and find meaning in their work (Harzer & Ruch, 2013).”
