Abstract

This study focuses on vocal music teachers and explores how teacher incentive mechanisms drives their multidimensional professional development through the intermediary role of job performance. Based on the three-dimensional framework of economic incentives, career development incentives and environmental incentives, this paper uses empirical research methods to test the transmission mechanism of job performance in the “incentive-development” path, and reveals the particularity of vocal music teachers’ professional development. Data analysis shows that job performance has a significant positive effect on interpersonal relationship, leadership management, economic income and self-development, and there is a chain intermediary effect-environmental incentives and career development incentives indirectly promote multidimensional development by improving job performance, while economic incentives mainly have a direct impact on income dimension. these findings suggest the construction path of layered incentive strategy from the practical level, including the differentiated performance evaluation system, the guarantee of professional autonomy and the creation of collaborative platform between schools and communities, which offers a direction for reconstructing the theoretical framework for solving the dilemma of “hollowing out majors” of art teachers.
