Abstract:

This study aims to explore the school climate, incentives and feedback mechanisms in Chinese universities and their effects on teachers and students. This paper analyzes how a good school climate, effective incentives and sound feedback mechanisms can enhance teachers' career satisfaction, professional growth. A total of 400 valid questionnaires were collected for this study, and descriptive analysis, analysis of variance, and regression analysis were conducted using SPSS 26.0. The majority of teachers in Chinese universities are women and are sensitive to remuneration and benefits. The findings revealed a positive relationship between school climate, incentive mechanism and feedback mechanism in Chinese universities. This means that the better the school climate in university, the better incentive mechanism and the better feedback mechanism. The findings suggest that a campus culture of trust and cooperation, a transparent and fair compensation and benefits system, personalized career development planning, and a timely and constructive feedback mechanism are key factors in enhancing the quality of education. Based on this, this paper proposes a series of specific strategies to optimize the university's school climate, motivation, and feedback mechanisms, including strengthening culture, providing career development opportunities, establishing sound assessment and feedback mechanisms, applying advanced educational technologies, and creating a positive career development environment for teachers and retaining more teachers in universities.
